French is horrible to learn, apparently I should of picked it up easier in school because I can speak English and Welsh, but French is just dumb.

French is really fun! Spanish is alright, and I know nothing of German, except that it sounds cool.

I'd take spanish. My native language is french and I can tell you spanish is much easier than french. Also, more countries have spanish as their official language.

Uhhh no.

German and English are from a family of languages called Germanic languages. French, Italian, and Spanish are all derived from Latin, and are called the Romance languages. If you have already taken Spanish, you will find Italian and French easy enough to pick up because of their similar roots. I know many friends who find this to be true, and it makes sense linguistically.

I guess I was spoiled with French being my first language (technically), Bulgarian my second, and English my third, along with having a folklorist stepfather who is into linguistics, but what I just told you guys takes 30 ****ing seconds on Wikipedia to look up. And no, I don't care if it's casual conversation; I believe people should always be making an effort to improve themselves through gaining knowledge, and I'm never going to stop pushing for it.

I have taken 3 years of latin, 2 years of spanish, and am going to be starting German next year for a total of 4 years. I have started some German though.
My suggestion is spanish. It is useful and very close to english.

I really wanted to take Italian but my school didn't offer it so I had to settle with Spanish. They're pretty closely related so I don't really mind. You should try Italian.

i would recommend taking spanish just because of the applications of it. its not really that hard, and it is one of the most spoken languages in the world. many jobs will pay extra if you know spanish.

If you're struggling with spanish, take french. I personally think spanish is easier if you already took 2 years of it. Once you learn the fundamentals, it's just memorizing words.

I want to go down to Africa (it's a state in Cambodia, which is the fifteenth planet from the sun, which revolves around Uranus) and kill those ****ing terrorist Eskimos. They're spreading that socialist antidisestalbishmentarianism philosophy and are trying to push Carmen Electra out of NAFTA. That leaves Mexico and Pluto. Then we'd really be ****ed. PS - information is cool.

That's the same for any language, really.

German or Mandarin are probably the most ideal as far as practical applications. Latin is quite useful as well, though it pertains more to literature and linguistics than personal communication.
