Predominantly as of 2010, the most popular second languages learned are English and Chinese.

Notes:

1) Popularity is measured by the number of non-native speakers learning the language in question.

2) The fact that English, being the most popular second language learned is not about to change within this decade or the next as it is the de facto education requirement for all of India, and parts of East Asian countries, namely China, Japan and South Korea.
