k so I have to take a foreign language. In high school I took Spanish 1 and 2 but I couldn't remember any of it so I still placed in the beginner's course. So, should I take Spanish or French or wait until next year (since beginning classes aren't offered spring semester) to try German or something more exotic?

Well, Spanish seems most likely to be useful in today's society of the western hemisphere. However, French is linguistically more romantic and fluent in economically flourishing eastern countries. German is always an interesting language to learn. I hear more positive feedback from German students than any other. Personally, I would chose either French or German. My school offered Latin up until the year when I entered, which aggravated me.

I recommend taking whichever you would feel you could get the best grade in. In all honesty, taking just this one class won't help you as far as understanding and becoming fluent in a language, so take whichever sounds cooler or whichever you think is easier.

How would you know if you haven't taken the others?

I'm going to end up taking the language for 4 semesters if that makes any difference... as an English major I'm going to have to take up through Intermediate 2.

Take French or German seeing as you couldn't remember any of your Spanish.
Look them up online and see which one looks easier/funner. |

most of the german language is derived from english. lots of words that are the exact same, easy to understand verb forms, etc.

All four languages mentioned thus far derive from Latin. So, based on your logic they're all the easiest to learn.

if a different language is simply derived from latin and dore has absolutely no knowledge of latin, it will be harder to learn because he has no prior knowledge of the derived language to help him at least thats my reasoning |

I'm just busting your balls, man. But, really, if your reasoning for why he should learn A is because B is based off C then as long as C doesn't vary you can substitute A and B with any language.

It's the other way around people. English is a derivation of German (as well as a few other languages), which is a derivation of Latin.
