<p>I am wondering about which language should I learn. Now, I major in FLLD(Foreign Languages and Literature) and the I major in English. I am now a freshman in college and I have to choose the second language in next year. Can someone please give me some advices between Spanish and French? About Spanish and French which is more useful to learn? Moreover, I can speak both English and Chinese,so I am planning that I can teach foreigners Chinese.</p>
<p>If you pick up Spanish, then you’ll know the three most commonly spoken languages in the world, covering about 2.6 billion people.</p>
<p>Spanish for sure. That gives you comfortable access to almost half a billion of the world’s population. French would give you about 30% less than that … but it does give you Tahiti!</p>
<p>However, the true dynamic duo of world languages is now english and mandarin. Adding Spanish, you’ve got the top 3.</p>
<p>Take whatever language you like the most. I’ve gone all through high school with people telling me that French is “useless,” but I love it so I enjoy the class. Plus, try calling French “useless” when you’re roaming the streets of beautiful Paris or Nice!</p>
<p>It is very easy to learn Spanish if you know French, so if you are looking at acquiring another language down the road, pick French now. Partially it depends whether you are more interested in the Americas (Spanish) or Africa/Asia (French).</p>
<p>BTW, no insult intended, but it would appear that your English could use quite a bit of work.</p>
<p>Thank you 
Today I went to take the shortern course of Spanish in my college. It is really fun to learn Spanish.</p>
<p>Thanks. I will try my best.</p>
<p>It is really a good news. :)</p>
<p>I will think of your advice.
Moreover, Although I am not an English native speaker, I will do my best to improve my English ability. Thanks.</p>
<p>It depends on where you want to work as a career.
If California, South America, or Mexico, choose Spanish.
If Europe or Africa, choose French.</p>
<p>French is in every way a superior language.</p>
<p>I think so,too. Thank you. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s the most important point, and I have to think about it. Thanks. :)</p>
<p>I speak Spanish and French. Knowing either language would make learning the other much easier. Spanish will definitely link you to many, many people - many more than French will. But you can’t discount French because of its influence in Europe and Africa… (plus, it is the official language of the UN, right?).</p>
<p>Honestly, I much prefer Spanish. I love the passion with which its native speakers handle the language. I love the rolled “r” and the slang and the cultures connected to the language. I speak French when necessary, but it sounds mushy and uncomfortable to me.</p>
<p>It’s up to you, though. Both are very useful.</p>
<p>But srsly, learn Spanish :P</p>
<p>I would just pick the language you like the most…</p>
<p>It is easier to learn Spanish once you learn French than the other way around. French is a more important language than Spanish globally. </p>
<ul>
<li>French is the second international language after English</li>
<li>French is the official language of several international bodies and events, including the UN, Olympics, World Cup etc…)</li>
<li>Culturally, and socially, French is the main language in Europe</li>
<li>Demographically, French is the official language of Europe’s second most populous state and Economy. In 2030, France’s population and Economy will be the largest in Europe as France has Europe’s fastest growing indiginous population whereas Germany’s population is shrinking.</li>
<li>French is widely spoken in parts of Belgium, Canada, Luxemburg and Switzerland, four of the World’s wealthiest nations.</li>
<li>Economically, France’s Economy is twice larger than Spain’s and almost as large as the combined Economies of all Spanish speaking countries.</li>
</ul>
<p>Thank you. Wow, you can speak both Spanish and French; it is really great. 
I think I would choose Spanish.</p>
<p>I think I would choose Spanish. Thanks.</p>
<p>My Spanish is limited, but my mother was born and raised in Colombia, so it is her native tongue.</p>
<p>Where is Colombia? It is said that the pronounciation of French is very difficult.</p>
