If you want to be popular with the ladies, go with French. I took it and you can tell some chick your grocery list in french, and it still sounds sexy.


Russian is good if you like vodka, or want to talk to Russian children.

French is more of a complex language than German for English native speakers. Few basic words in the German language are similar or exact to English. Hence I know German, Spanish, Dutch(Mostly), Russian(Mostly) some Japanese, some Italian, and some Danish, I would say German was the easiest to learn and understand.

I'd like to see some examples of that German. And those words that are the same in German and English.
There are over 60,000 words in German, so I doubt "many" words in German are similar to English. I know some are, but that's just very few that are being used just about never anyway.

I just looked up a few phrases and sentences in French.

Surprisingly, I can make out what it's trying to say, it's still a (mostly) latin language.

Russian would take a lot of getting used to, because of the different alphabet.


I *can* take both. It'd be tough, BUT THE PRIIIIIIIZE.

I was just using "Many" as an example that German and English are both Germanic languages. Don you don't have to defend yourself when you think you are being under attack, it seems lately you do this to everyone? hmmm?

Learn Chinese while you're still young.


Seriously.


Many white people in my school started learning in middle/high school and they're doing fine.

Id say Chinese would be the best investment for the future.
By that time China may have taken over USA.  :trollface:

French derived from latin, so it is latin-ish. French is easy to understand if you already now latin. The only problem is that the is MANY exceptions, and it can get confusing, hell even I have so problem with my spelling in french. For example: Des animaux

This is a basic exception, but there is a lot like that. Normally plurial ends with an ''S'' but in this case it ends with ''AUX''. ANyways, whatever language you go for, make sure it's worthwhile and something you wanna do.
