Answer 1

spanish, and especially if you live in the south, you'll use it more than french, if you live closer to canada though you may want french

Answer 2

I've taken French for the last five years. It's been pretty difficult to learn. I also know quite a bit of Spanish- my dad lived in Puerto Rico for a while. I know firsthand that Spanish is easier. I had to chose on 7th grade between Latin, French, and Spanish. I chose French, but I'm still kicking myself for not taking Spanish. It's much more useful, even though I live in the Northeast. It's one of the fastest growing languages in the world.

Maybe even though you've had trouble with it before, maybe they'll be teaching spanish at a more advanced level, and you'll get a better understanding of the language. it might be best to ask someone at your school who's already started the Spanish course what it will be like, and get a better idea from that.

Answer 3

Spanish will have more value to you later in life. I'll get flamed for this, but French is a dying language. French and Spanish have a lot of similarities, I don't think learning one would be any easier than the other.

Answer 4

Well seaming as we have people hopping the border and not knowing how to speak english. Spanish would be useful. Though not as great of country as France ah Beautiful place, Oui? That's what I get for being a quarter french. So if you ver plan on visiting the beauitful country learn it. Other then that stick with Spanish amigo it will be put to better use here in the states.

Answer 5

Well if your not doing good in Spanish, and have taken it since 4th grade, hate to break it to ya but your probably not gonna get much better. I'd say take a shot at french, you'd have a better chance of doing well in that class than in Spanish.

Answer 6

Personally, I found french MUCH easier.
I took spanish 8th grade and it was horrible.
With french, I caught on right away.
if you have taken spanish since 4th grade and arent very good at it, maybe give french a shot.
But which one interests you more? Go with that one.

Answer 7

Spanish! In french nothing is spelled the way it sounds an accent is more inportant. Spanish is also more widely spoken. French is difficult to grasp and the language mechanics are complicated. Stick with spanish and study more to raise your grade! FLASH CARDS ARE SMART!

Answer 8

Nathan dont listen to all these loser illegal immigrants from Mexico. Spanish is for dum people who cant learn. French is for those who are some what smart and want a life other then with talking to illegal aliens on farms.

Is that really how u want to grow up.

Chose French.

Answer 9

Spanish...in today's world there are many more opportunities open to people who speak spanish as a second language then there are for people who speak French. There are so many people coming up from Mexico that there are many many career opportunities for more people that speak Spanish.

Answer 10

If you live in the US I would suggest spanish and if in Canada - french. It doesn't matter which you learn really, if you have the nack for languages. I find french and spanish to be equally difficult to learn however if you ask anyone that is learning english they will tell you that it is the hardest to learn!

Answer 11

Learning to speak Spanish would be a great asset to you if you live in the US. Alot of jobs are requiring that you be bilingual or paying more if you are bilingual.

Also, it has been said that Spanish is the easiest language to learn.
