Yeah, but you never know, the 4th Reich might actually be sucessful.
In that case We'll all be speaking backwards pig latin; Not Spanish or German

German is better for business. Spanish is better for hotel or kitchen working

Yea, so you better start brushing up on your Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

I'm working on my Japanese but only because I'm oktau and English translations of anime don't always work.

that was my point, but more like Chinese, Hindi... Korean and Japanese are a tossup... Korea I don't see having much to grow by, Japan, they got a aging population issue they have to fix.

8 hours of a different language is required for my major, i actually care nothing about learning it.

Do any of your friends speak any of those languages? If you have a friend that knows one of the just pick that one. Then ask your friend if he/she can help you out.

spanish is an annoying language. german is an awesome language. take your pick.

Spanish has latin cross-over roots.

German has English crossover.


Spanish is much easier to learn due to the way you structure sentences and complicated meanings of words. Even Germans agrre that it's easier to learn English than the other way around.

Spanish is much more valuable since you can communicate with a sh*tload more people....C. & S. America, Spain, Phillippines....and USA (especially CA, TX, NM, AZ).

 

[AbAbber2k]

After taking German for two years and then dating a Puerto Rican for one... I can honestly say you should take Spanish.

That's not to say that German isn't worth learning though, it's a great language but much harder than Spanish.

 

[Rebasxer]

Spanish as my latin teacher would say is a "disease of the tounge" and going into my 7th full year of spanish I would have to agree. It's not nearly as expressive as English is, and a lot of the words now come from slang. South American spanish is bascially linguistic trash, and if you want to see the real potential you have to look to like a Castilian speaker, as their form of the language has not degraded all that much and is still very articulate and beautiful. German is less spoken, but it's also a wonderful language.

I think German words are easier to learn, but Spanish grammar is easier.
