Which language do you think I should learn next year for school; German, Spanish or French?

Question

German, Spanish or French?

Answer 1

It all depends how you want to use it! If you plan to study it just for the school credit, then it doesn't really matter. If you plan to pursue the language throughout college, though, check out these links:

Why learn French? http://french.about.com/od/francophonie/a/whylearnfrench.htm

(Now, personally, I would say Spanish, for a few reasons. One, I've been taking the language for about 7 years and I love learning it, and two, there sure are a lot of Hispanic Americans -- it will probably come in handy someday to know how to speak some Spanish, if not fluently!)

Answer 2

You definitely should take Spanish!! It is first of all the easiest of these three languages. It sounds really cool and it has the most interesting cultures. Spanish by the way is the second most talked language in the us (and of of the most talked languages in the whole world!), so that would be very useful. and french people are anyways arrogant people, so if you would do a trip with your language class you would also see very nice places and meet friendly people!!

Answer 3

I would be looking at either Spanish or French; both easy to learn for English language speakers; it all depends what your future plans are and on where you live; in Canda, you would go for French, in the US, Spanish is spoken by a big portion of the population, so for job purposes it's great to become bi-lingual and combine ENglish with either Spanish of French; good luck with your choices.

Answer 4

If you live in the US, the answer is obvious - Spanish. The country is full of Spanish speakers, and bi-lingual people bring a premium in the job market. Not to mention that Latin America is right at our doorstep. Just take a look at the "help wanted" section in the newspaper - people are looking for Spanish speakers.

When I went to school (a long time ago) I studied German, because it was "the language of science". It never did me a lick of good. My children are both bi-lingual in English/Spanish, and I am always envious as they engage people on the street or in the grocery store in their own language. People really appreciate it!

Answer 5

That depends on what you plan to do with it after school. German is spoken in a few countries, but not all that many. The same holds true for French. Spanish is spoken in much more of the world, so if I were to choose, I would choose Spanish. Again, it depends on you and what you want to do with it.

Answer 6

i'd go with spanish, it's the easiest out of the three. german has about 12 ways to say hello and like 3 systems for counting numbers, and for french, you have to make a fish face all day long. so take spanish.

Answer 7

If you live in the US, then Spanish. It will be useful now and especially in the future.

Job openings are increasingly asking for bilingual Spanish applicants, especially if you want to work in city or county government.

I think French is very pretty, just not as useful in the US. My family is German but none of us speak it. It would be useful in Europe.

Answer 8

Well, if you live in America, especially around Texas, you should learn Spanish. The spanish population is constantly increasing in America, and I see it every day. I am taking Spanish classes, and I find it very helpful.

Answer 9

depends on if you are going to travel or live in area that has primarily usage of one of those languages. If your looking for Romantic then French is the one...

Answer 10

Personally, I would go with German. German is the closest to English if that is what you are looking for. I know ALOT of German, and I find it is fun to speak, and I love to listen to music in German. I'm very advanced in the language.German is an enjoyable language! Although, pronunciation can be a little difficult, and grammar and spelling can confuse English speakers. Then again, every language is not going to be simple to learn. So...I would go with German! Guten Nacht!
