Question

Should I take Spanish, German, or ASL and why?

Answer 1

SPANISH!

If you're living in America (especially in California, Arizona, New Mexico), Spanish is clearly the most useful and functional choice. It's also one of the easiest languages out there; it's very formulaic and doesn't have a bunch of strange exceptions like English does.

I've never taken German but I don't see any use for it unless you're actually going to visit Germany...also (no offense to anyone) I personally happen to think it is just not the most attractive language to listen to. It's all guttural and ick.

I took an ASL class and it was just a huge hassle...a whole bunch of crazy memorization and the tests are awful. And unless you are crazily devoted to it, you will never learn enough to communicate fluently with a deaf person. There's just really no point unless you want to be an ASL translator.
