French or German

I tried to learn both French and German but I gave up. So I guess I'm not of much help.

Though I don't know either of the languages but If I would have to go for learning, I would have gone for French.

German is easier to learn because it came from the same branch as English, both are teutonic languages, English only began to differ after the Norman conquest of England. The Angles were a Germanic people who settled in the part of the Roman Empire of what is now Britain.

German is easier to read, I listen to some german songs and I am able to read the lyrics. French have complicated spelling pronunciation.

Both languages are difficult. I think one can say that they're on the same level. I find German easy peasy, however, because it's my native language. :-) You may have some advantage with German as you already know English. There are some similarities, especially in the verb system. The pronunciation in German is easier than in French. There are lots of language learning sites on the net. For example The basic course is free, you can pay for a course with more exercises.

I took French in college, but I think that Spanish would have been more useful in the US.

I studied a little French before but I haven't studied German. I guess learning French is easier as German words are very long It must be difficult to remember it.

Don't speak the French language but I would prefer French over German. Sometimes German sounds a little harsh to me. Good luck

@Vincygar13 Most of my German friends say German is really difficult to learn. I believe them, but I do like the language.
