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.)

If you have even rudimentary French (which you say you do), Spanish will probably come much more easily to you than German. As others have said, it's quite probably more useful in the US.

However, if you're thinking of taking a class in one of them, you might think about German instead - given that it *is* a bit more difficult, the structure could be useful. (And you could write filksongs in German...hmmm.) Spanish would probably be easier to pick up yourself.

*shrug* As they say, it depends what you want it for. Either one would be a good choice.
