I have to take spanish or French. Which one is eaiser?

Question

????

Answer 1

Spanish is easier.

Answer 2

You're not looking at this in the right way. Right now, you are
looking for the easy ways to get through school. But when you
are out of school, needing a career to support yourself, what
will you have to fall back on to get a good job, if you don't set
up courses that you can use in life?
You probably won't use French, unless you plan to go
to France, maybe once, as a tourist. But you do know that
everywhere you turn today, you are hearing Spanish. And
I'm sure you'd like to know what is being said all around
you. So it sure won't hurt to learn Spanish as a second language. You'll need to have the skill for speaking it sooner
rather than later.

Answer 3

My high school had entrance exams and the kids who scored the highest on language skills got put into French class so I'd say French is harder. If you live in an area with a large Latino population, Spanish is more useful to learn.

Answer 4

The Defense Language Institute rates both as "1" on the scale of difficulty. They are both relatively easy to learn as a second language.

English and Russian are "3" (moderately difficult), and

Chinese is "5" (really difficult).


I would recommend whichever will be most helpful in your area. For example, where I live, we have a lot of Spanish-speaking people. If I lived closer to Canada, though, I might find French to be more helpful.

Answer 5

I would say Spanish because if you need help, you could probably find a Spanish speaking person a lot easier than a french one

Answer 6

Spanish would be easier, if only for the correlation between spelling and pronunciation. For instance, in French (as in English and Irish), half of the letters (or more) in a word are not pronounced - which creates problems if you want to write something down (for an extreme example: Is the sound "bo" spelled "bo" or "bot" or "box" or "boz" or "beau" or "beaut" or "beaux" or "beauz" or "bau" or "baut" or "baux" or "bauz" or any of several other possible ways?). You don't have that problem with Spanish (it would just be "bo").

Answer 7

Spanish is easier, once you know spanish French would be a lot easier because some of their words are similar to spanish

Answer 8

I took French, but it never did me any good professionally. Knowing some French makes holidays in France easier and more pleasurable. But now, I am suddenly doing a lot of work in South America and so I'm learning Spanish.

They're both about equal in difficulty. It's more difficult to speak French at a level where native speakers are glad to talk to you.

Answer 9

If you live in the U.S Spanish would be more practical. I never took Spanish myself, so I don't know if it is easy or hard. I took French when I was in high school and it was only hard because they have sooooo many parts of speech. It was a lot to remember! I wish I had learned more....

Answer 10

spanish defintly because the words are some what simalor to english but i think its cool you want to lear french french is a lot cooler those but spanish is eaiser


love mallard duck dude

Answer 11

I took French in high school and Spanish is college. I thought Spanish was easier because there were fewer tenses.
