what language should I take-spanish or french?

Question

please support your answer with reasons!

Answer 1

A lot depends on where you live. If, for instance, you live in Canada especially in Quebec you need to learn French. It is a required subject in all schools in Canada because we have two national languages, English and French.

If you live in the Southwest or West of the United States, Spanish is a very predominant language and very useful.

Actually many of the words in both Spanish and French are the same or close to the same so learning one will help learn the other. Also for Spanish, there are many different dialects of Spanish spoken in the SW USA and even in different areas of Mexico and are almost totally different than the Spanish spoken in Spain. The same for French as Creole French in Louisiana is different from Quebec in Canada and different again from that in France. It does get confusing don't it! Have fun learning either or both...and choose the one that will be most useful for your situation.

Answer 2

French

Answer 3

French. Although if u'd asked me 4 years ago, I would've said Spanish. I've always loved the way Spanish sounded. But unfortunately, my university wasn't offering Spanish as a Major at the time, and I was forced to take French, since I had my mind set on studying languages. French turned out to be great nevertheless :D Je l'ADORE, c'est absolument magnifique!!. I still plan to take Spanish though. Beautiful language. I guess it depends on what u want it for.

Answer 4

What would be most practical for you? Depending upon where you live you may want to take Spanish which is rapidly becoming necessary to communicate with the huge influx of Spanish-speaking people in this country.

I love the sound of French and if you ever plan to travel to France or other French speaking countries, it will come in handy.

Answer 5

isnt it ovious the best way to go would be spanish. the reason for that is b/c the people that speak french also speak english when they come here. the people that speak spanish dont aways speak english too and if you take spanish and keep studying spanish you could get a job as a translator and make more money than someone that can not translate at all.

Answer 6

i think tht u should take French...

i know for a fact tht french is a beautiful lang and so is Spanish. But i also know for a fact tht French ppl r quite unwilling to converse in English when u r visiting France. So, the only way to lessen the intensity of those hostile gazes is to be fluent in French.
If u, on the other hand, have the capability of coping with two lang. at once, go ahead and opt for spanish too for i believe in being multilingual. it widens ur horizons.

Answer 7

Both are 'romance' languages that have their roots in Europe. Of the two, you will probably use Spanish far more than French, just cuz more people speak it...But it depends on where you live and where you think you may go in your later life...

Answer 8

i think you should take Spanish because Spanish and English are the most used languages in the world so that means like if you ever travel any where there gonna speak either Spanish or English and there language and well i like fen ch and every thing too but if you cant take both of them you should just take Spanish in My opinion

Answer 9

Everybody says Spanish is easier to learn than French. My moms failed French and all her friends passed Spanish. Besides, if you ever apply for a bilingual job in the US which one do you think you'll need to know? :D

Answer 10

Go for Spanish-it's practical. Spanish is the most popular language in the U.S. after English. Many public service companies hire bilinguals-English and Spanish-as receptionists and customer service people. They may even make more money than their counterparts who only speak English.
