Spanish is definitely the easiest. Don't do what I did and choose something difficult like Russian. Make it as easy as you can. Besides that, if you want to practice the language all you have to do is press #2 for Spanish on any voice menu or go to a fast food place and order in Spanish. How much easier could it get?

Personally, I chose to take Spanish throughout High School
It's DEFINITELY the EASIEST language out of those you listed, but I don't know about best.
If you think about it, our country is going to start speaking Spanish more and more in the coming years, so it might be the most beneficial. However, French is a great language to learn. You will impress people a lot more by learning French than Spanish and it isn't even that much harder
With my 4 years of Spanish, I was easily adequate enough to take 2nd year French because they are that closely related.
So, I personally would go for Spanish again, but if you would rather learn a language for the "cool" factor then go for French

Spanish is very much like English-so I would choose that 1. Not to mention, French has to many words where the word doesn't sound how its spelled..For example: Au revoir is pronounced o vwa, Hor Devures is pronounced or derves, Rendevous is ron day voo-I could go on and on. Whereas Spanish words(once you understand the pronunciations) usually sound how they're spelled..Example: Adios is pronounced ah dee ohs, Compania is pronouned come pah nee ah...No surprises there- the only silent letters are H and sometimes J...G is pronounced like an H-but thats about it-most of the words are close to the English word, or derived from the meaning of the word(since most English is borrowed from Latin anyways)-for example Sangre means blood-similar to our Sangrial meaning "of blood, or from the blood of", or Muerte which means death, which is close to our "morbid" meaning something gloomy, grisly or affected by disease...Try Spanish also if you are good at word association-as am I. Good Luck!

French and Spanish are about equally difficult - so do Spanish, cause knowing French is going to get you nowhere, and knowing Spanish is going to open a lot more professional opportunities for you.
While you're at it, see if you can knock some sense into your English spelling...

Spanish is probably the most useful. Ultimately there may be more people in America that speak Spanish as their first language than English.
That being said, you should probably brush up on your English as well, gentle reader. Your message is full of typos and misspellings. That is a big no no on college applications.

It would depend on where you live. If you are in Europe then either language would be useful. In the USA I reckon Spanish would help you more (it's also easier to learn) & if you're in Canada then definitely French. Good luck

French, Spanish and italian are all languages BASED on Latin.
They are all learned with the same relative ease.

I suggest you to learn Spanish. The reason: you can easily find someone to practice this new language in your country.
