The one you are most interested in. Taking one because it's easier/"more useful" will not go down well if you can't enjoy it.

Take the language which is easier for you to learn and which makes you more fun. Learning languages without fun is wuit difficult as I found out. Have you tried out which of those languages suit to you? maybe there is an one which you would love to learn all the wile? *

I'd vote German or Mandarin personally

Frencccchhhh :h:

Mandarin is the most spoken language around the world(?) so it could be useful. French will probably be the easiest to learn and again will probably come in useful.

Why did you begin to like languages at once, if I may ask? what was changed since GSCE?*

Doesn't mean you HAVE to take a language.

Mandarin would only be needed if you planned on physically moving to China to work, and most would agree Chinese culture isn't the most welcoming one for foreigners. Personally I'd go for either Spanish, German or Russian. That said, Japanese and Mandarin are notoriously difficult for foreigners to learn and almost everyone you meet in your professional life will immediately assume you're a genius if you can speak either. This can be a pretty useful impression to have on those with hiring/firing power over you.

Take Spanish or Italian, they seem to be easier than the other languages from your list.
