So... should I take up German or Spanish? Which would be easier, given I think and speak in English?

(Yes, playingpossum, I already know your vote.)

What do you plan to use the language for? Is this just a hobby? Do you want to be able to hold conversations? Do you wnat to be able to do research with non-English sources?

How are you at holding a complex thought in memory until you get to the verb that ties it all together? :-)

Yes, I'd heard that about German...
