Is it better to take Spanish, French, or German?

Question

You know for high school's second language, which is easy and quicker to learn?

Answer 1

Assuming you are in the US, you should take Spanish because you will have more of an opportunity to use it.  

I've noticed that a lot of jobs are searching for people who speak Spanish as a second language.  

I live in Maryland and the Mexican population is continuously increasing.

Answer 2

It isn't so much about what is easier to learn but about what interests you more, if you travel much to Europe then French or German would be best, if you need to communicate with Spanish speakers, then Spanish would be best.

Answer 3

From what I see Spanish is what is more commonly used than the other two languages. But do what is more of interest to you! Good luck! it is true that once you learn one latin based language the rest come much easier! have fun!

Answer 4

Take Spanish.... someday those Mexicans will take over and white people will be the minority.  You better learn while you have the chance!

Answer 5

I speak all 3, and German and Spanish are by far the easiest:

Spanish conjugation is very simple and straightforward (even the irregulars).

German is much like English and you would grasp it very quickly.

French is hard and the conjugations aren't too simple, but French is the more major language after English in the world. Spanish probably has more use in the United States. My personal favorite is German. hope this helps  

Answer 6

They all are difficult to learn.

Although if you learn one, all the rest are easier as well.

I took spanish first and it made french and german a little easier.

Answer 7

I would say SPANISH

Answer 8

Spanish is the easiest IMO.

but it depends where you live. I live in Canada, so I took French since its the second language, but Spanish is easier from what everyone says

Answer 9

where do you live? immersion is quicker and easier...

Answer 10

Deutsch!!! I had to make the same choice when I was in High School, and I chose German. I'm glad I did too; I took Spanish in 10th grade but hated it, barely passed with a D, but got straight As in German :) It's easier because it's related to English (French & Spanish are not), so there are sooo many cognates! Plus it's easy to pronounce, as it's a phonetic language. And you get to understand cool bands like die Ärzte! Good luck with whatever you choose :D
