<p>I was gonna ask you lablondie are you Scandinavian...then I realized that you were from Minnesota and you have blonde hair...my question answered itself</p>

23

<p>pretty much, yeah... my breakdown is</p>

<p>7/16 Norwegian
1/4 Finnish
3/16 Swedish
1/16 German
1/16 Bohemian</p>

24

<p>you're 87.5% Scandinavian =-o</p>

<p>i'm 0% Scandinavian</p>

25

<p>scandis are cool...</p>

26

<p>they are...<em>jealous a little</em></p>

<p>Personally I would learn French over German, because I would have more opportunities to use French than German. Living in Canada, having a knowledge of French opens up more job opportunities, since French is the other official language. Also in terms of travel, many countries have French as a main language (and especially if somewhere down the line I decide I want to volunteer with an organization such as MSF, French would likely help me to communicate with the locals and other staff).</p>

28

<p>glucose: Between French and German, I'd go with French. German's a little rough in my opinion. Throwing Japanese into the mix? I'd do that over French and German.</p>

29

<p>I really like French, but if I were to choose another language to learn it would be Russian. Russia would be awesome to visit, it sounds awesome, and I could listen to early James Bond villains without translations.</p>

<p>**** french and german. learn latin</p>

31

<p>Definitly not latin. why learn a dead language? I don't plan on becoming the pope</p>

<p>I would want t learn italian, being italian, but would probably end up learning spanish, as I will be living in la</p>

32

<p>ya, i don't think latin is gonna be a top choice anytime soon</p>

33

<p>i would learn korean. mostly because i spend my free time watching korean dramas and listening to their music. and half my friends speak it.</p>

<p>otherwise spanish.. so i can bring those grades back up =(</p>

34

<p>Both of them, German is easier and more serious but French sounds awesome.</p>

35

<p>To answer the OP, I would choose French. No reason.</p>

36

<p>I am already fluent in French, so German. But I actually want to learn German so I can read non-translated works by German/German-speaking authors and get a full sense of what they were trying to convey. German specifically strikes me as a language with a lot of nuances and meaning. It is ugly, though.</p>

37

<p>I prefer the sound of German to the sound of French.</p>

38

<p>Well Swedish does sound like German</p>

39

<p>German because it's useful when going to oktoberfest.</p>

<p>French is prettier and more widely used.</p>
