I tried learning german and it's alright. I had a german girlfriend and she taught me well. The sentence structure was easy to understand for me. But I think spanish is definitely easier to learn. I could learn spanish on my own, plus it's more useful and more fun. The german pronunciation just sounds too angry for me. The french language is ok, especially if you want to woo a woman, but it's not useful for me. Can you pick all three? There are similarities (and similar words) between the 3 languages.

Hello, I think any new language can be difficult, especially because you're already a college student and probably have other courses to take. However, the choice of language should be determined by the necessity and not by the nature of the language. French has a few similarities with the English language itself. German, like one of my friends have already mentioned has a difficult grammar. Spanish is comparatively easy. But first of all you have to decide your purpose of learning a foreign language. Probably you already have a major in your college course. So you have to do some research on which country excels in that field so that you may get optimum result by choosing that language. If you love travelling, you may look for different places in Germany, France etc. All these are ways to identify the purpose of choosing a language. Every language appears difficult at the beginning, but after a while you'll get used to it. Thanks. God bless you.

Thank you very much,getbiswa2000.I like this sentence,"Every language appears difficult at the beginning,but after a while you'll get used to it".It's a good philosophic theory.

Hi my friend told me that is better to learn French than to learn German.hah But I choose to learn German, any foreign language can be difficult to learn or very easy for learn, it depends if you learn it with your interest,I think. anything you work with or to do if you have big internet it it,you'll enjoy to do it and work it out right? Why I choosed to learn German because My teacher he is also learning German so both of us would have a partner to practice with each other ;-) I tell you what,I found that if you are speaking English very well,then its not very difficult to learn it. good luck

The grammar is kind of complicated and hard, but besides that, it is not a very hard language to learn, especially if you already know another Germanic language, such as English.
