Studying new language

[MultiGod]

I'm Indonesian, and I've been speaking English(American) since I'm 6-7.
I'm eager to learn a new language but what should I learn?
French or Germany?

 

[Slaydon]

Try out french.. i dunno xD

 

[Mechanical Man]

Slovenian.

with French you will be able to grasp the other Romance languages such as Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese much more easily, it has the benefit of 'making other languages easier' in the long run.

This is useful if you are just 'doing it for fun' mostly.

German however is more useful in the market place as a whole, since Germany is the 3rd(?) richest nation on the Earth, and thus, has a market to match.

It is difficult however, yet worth while.

This is useful for more professional needs, but more difficult for 'just for fun learning'.

It depends on your motives, and your future wants. Either one is worth while.

 

[leet.firefox]

Learn both. And do it soon.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

French is a bitch, but I guess it's useful for learning/understanding other languages easier.

 

[M4stah]

Frecnh is also spoken in some African countries I believe, so I'd do that.

 

[Restor]

German is spoken only in Europe so try French. Or Spanish, romanian languages are hard (i learned latin) but much more easier than slavs languages.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Do yourself a favor and visit Québec. Try to catch some of the accent there. France french makes men sound like women.

 

[Devine]

Germany? o: Perhaps keep working on your english before trying to learn a new language

 

[The_wand_mirror]

i speak germany.

 

[Firelord213]

German is hard, Don't know about French though.
(I learn German in School)

 

[Arvedui]

Because of requirements at Highschool and University I've taken both French and German.

I'd say German. It's more fun to learn, or at least it was in my experience.

If you can learn english well, french is alittle less painful, I'm forced to learn it as the criculm in Canada says we need atleast 6(?) years of french. Once you get past conjugating verbs you'll figure out the rest (theres a lot of rules for french adverbs)

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Dutch is a gateway to German (and French).

Or is it the other way?

 

[Huurka]

French.

Other way, Dutch is.... full of crazy things. One of my (and this is rare) dutch friends tryed teaching me, and I gave up, since its full of things that can't be pronounced wrong or its another word (atleast thats what he said)

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Since I live in germany my whole life and I absolutely HATE french, I'd choose german xD

 

[syltman]

French, french and french.

Just becouse I am half french

 

[takakenji]

french definently

 

[Megafyr]

It is possible to learn german from watching free german television. I did. I don't know about french though. I don't speak it.

 

[NhazUl]

German you must study, for sure.

roman languages are hard (i learned latin) but much more easier than slavs languages.

True. Slavic languages have a shitload of cases, tenses and declinations. As if they have taken the most complicated stuff from all other languages.

(I'm a native speaker of one of these so I should know).

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Japanese.

 

[takakenji]

lol?

Well, bulgarian doesn't have much of them though.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Danish is the way to go.

 

[En_Fuego]

Japanese, bro.

 

[HINDYhat]

Fuck French, it's a ridiculously overcomplicated language and I know so because I've been speaking it for my entire life.

Learn newspeak.

 

[En_Fuego]

Actually, I found French very easy to learn (I'm an English speaker).

Maybe I'm just weird? I also found Japanese (Katakana and Hiragana) very simple to learn.

 

[HINDYhat]

Probably because you haven't learned enough of it yet. French is full of useless and arbitrary stuff.

 

[En_Fuego]

I suppose so. I took two years of it. I'm really that fluent in it. But it's a lot like English.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

French is a stupid language. Way too many pointless rules and exceptions.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Well french is the second improtant language in the world so i guess....french^^And trust me,french is 100% easier to learn then german.I learned both of them and i say:FRENCH!

French is a stupid language. Way too many pointless rules and exceptions.

So is german language but even with more exceptions.

 

[MultiGod]

OK,ok. French! it's decided now. thx everyone!^^
