should i take spanish or french?

Question

my best friend is taking french, and i think it is really pretty. spanish might be more useful though.

Answer 1

It just depends on what you are thinking of doing with your future and where you are thinking of living.

They speak Spanish in Spain, most of South and Central America, Mexico, and much of the US although it is not the official language. This makes it one of the most useful languages in the world, probably coming third after Mandarin Chinese and English.

They speak French in France, Quebec, southern Belgium, part of Switzerland, and parts of Africa. Although countries like Cambodia and Laos used to be French colonies, very few people there speak French these days. French is no longer a particularly useful language.

So you need to decide where you are likely to live, work or visit in the future and with whom you are likely to want to communicate!

Answer 2

I am taking French and Spanish, and I think you should go for the French. If your friend is taking it too you're going to have someone to talk to and practice with. Spanish could bemore useful, but that depends on what you want to do with your life. Also, once you learn French Spanish will be very simple to pick up on if you find youself in a place where you need to do so. Take a language because you want to learn it, not because it will be more useful, otherwise you're just going to end up learning enough to pass the tests and not really learn the language.

Answer 3

I studied, talk and train each Spanish and French. I taught very younger secondary university boys (eleven years ancient) who studied each Spanish and French in combination. That used to be the curriculum in our university procedure. And so, I would not hesitate to advocate each directly. Both languages have many elements (particularly grammar and idioms) in traditional, and if academics are good educated and competently grounded in overseas language guide approaches, they are able to emphasize the ones connections. In that approach, they're going to make studying less complicated and nice a laugh for the scholars. But If I needed to decide on one earlier than the opposite, I'd do Spanish first, as it's the less complicated of the 2, particularly in pronunciation. it's not precise to mention that the 2 languages are not anything alike. They each derive from Latin/Romance roots and continue many traditional vocabulary phrases (probably with simplest moderate alterations in inflections).

Answer 4

If you need a foreign language take French. By the time you get out of school, Spanish will no longer qualify as a foreign language. English, however, may.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It depends on where you live and where you plan to live. If you plan to live in a Spanish speaking area, then yes, it will help, and especially if you live in that type of area where its dominant or equally spoken then definitely. Same can be said for french, however if ya asked me :P I think you should take German-if its offered. It's really easy and something different.

Answer 9

spanish,most of the company will give you credit if you know spanish language instead French.

Answer 10

Learn what you wanna learn, or you'll learn nothing. Written Spanish and French are quite similar to each other (compared to English), so learning one will help you learn the other. (Spanish and Italian sound alike.)
