I'm learning German, and while it is close to English and very easy, it's not very useful, except on the internet, as German (if I remember this correctly) is the third most used language after English and Mandarin Chinese. French has been the world's lingua franca in the past, but English has since replaced. So, it's cliche, but if you're an American, go with Spanish. The Hispanic population in the country is getting higher and higher; learning Spanish is only to get more and more important.

Definitely German, Spanish and French are almost the same, but I Hate the accent. I know them all a little bit.
Also depends on which Language you'd use the first.

French, because I already know Spanish and English, and I want to know if the claim is true about French being the most beautiful, romantic language of them all. I personally think Spanish and Portuguese are the most romantic, so I would want to prove whether French is or not.

Is there a reason to not take all three? Not knowing where you are from or what your career or aspirations are it's hard to rate one as better than the other. In Canada, French naturally, in the USA Spanish is almost as big a necessity. German because they send a lot of tourists.

I would take French because I think it is a beautiful language and I like to listen to music in french and can't understand them. I took spanish in high school and can't say or understand anything. But living in america spanish would be the best one to learn because there are a lot of mexicans here.

It depends on where you live and what laganuage can be most helpful to you...for example Spanish almost the second primary languare so i have taken some spanish classes...but if youa re in Canada, where half of the nation speaks and read and writes in french maybe French will be most helpful.

Spanish: I've already taken it and I'm lazy. Plus, it's a pretty fast growing language in my area. Wait, scratch that, French. I know a really cute girl who's taking French. She's amazing, so, French for sure.

I took FRENCH in school, beautiful language, so first I would like to finish it (to know as my own) and then I would take Spanish, as now we live in Texas, where a lot of Mexicans.

By the way, English is my Second language. Russian is my native.

P.S. I think that it's wonderful to know several languages, to be able to communicate with people other culture. :)
