If I were you I would pick German. I've wanted to learn German because I like the way it sounds. German is not a romance language so it is much different then French and Spanish. I take Latin but if German was offered at my school I would take that instead.

All I was offered was Spanish and French, and I took Spanish because I didn't like French. However, if I was to choose now, I'd pick German. 1) It's more closely related to English. 2) I think it's cool! I'm trying to teach myself the basics.

And if you learn German, you can read my location.

Ok. Don't take French! I took French for three years in high school and although now I can understand the language, I can't speak it at all. French that's taught in school is so different from the French that is spoken in France, or French-Canadian, which is obviously spoken in Canada. Also, what I've heard is that if you go to France and try to actually speak French, the French won't talk to you (because we "butcher" their language). So ix-nay on the idea to take Francais. It's a beautiful language, but you won't use it that much. I have a friend who majored in French in college that doesn't even speak French when she goes to France. Go figure!

Take German!

I took Spanish for four years... it was okay, but I probably would have taken German if I would have had the choice.

Crimson and Clover · 02-28-2003, 09:49 PM

ive taken french and its not that hard of a language. but id choose german, i think its a cool language

Titania · 02-28-2003, 10:16 PM

ive been taking french for 3 yrs and love it. true its not as prevalent as spanish...

the other thing is, if you take spanish or french you'll find you can understand bits and pieces of the other language just because theyre similar.

Not true. Even though those are the most well known places that speak French, there are dozens of countries in Africa that speak it, as well as a bunch of islands in the South Pacific and Guyana in South Amerca. I've taken Spanish for four years so I can read and write most anything, it's just speaking that's a little hearder for me, but then again, I'm a shy person. I have no problem with Spanish so I probably still would have taken it if I had to start over again.

*PinkLady* · 02-28-2003, 10:56 PM

I like Spanish. I've taken four years of it at school, so I know the language pretty well. I can recognize some words of French (and I say c'est la vie all the time), but I know absolutely no German because my hick school doesn't offer it.

friend to IDOJ lover · 02-28-2003, 11:02 PM

well i took Spanish last year and intro two years ago, and i didn't like it too much... but that's all my little school offers so... i had no choice..i guess ill be takin spanish 2 next yr i think French is cool

Hollow · 02-28-2003, 11:02 PM
