I never learned French, but German wasn’t REALLY hard. I would think that learning English as a second language would be harder than both of those…

For you french and spanish and spanish and they are both based off of latin.
For you french would be easier because there are more cognates between french and spanish and they are more cognates between french and spanish and they are both based off.

French is more like Spanish so it will be a lot easier for you to learn i think. Also, German words are very long and you would have to speak in a completely different accent.

French. German is a complex language that shares a lot of structural similarities with English. If you’re already familiar with Spanish, French will undoubtedly be much easier for you to pick up.

German is easyer but if you have a desire for French more then German lets say, then go for your desire.

If your native language is Spanish, French will be easier to learn. It is a Latin based language as well.

German is a more logical language. If you learn the patterns, then it is easy to speak. Plus its vocab is very similar to English (having a common ancestry). On the other hand, French makes up over half of the English vocabulary, so recognition of words is easy, even if the grammar is quite different. However each individual is different. For me i found it a lot easier to learn German and i found French difficult.
Look into both of the languages and have a taster of both and then pick which one you are more likely to succeed at. Test yourself on both and then you will be able to single out your preference
Good luck

Many German words sound very similar to English (ex: craft and Kraft) and the German grammatical system is much easier than that of the French.

if you know Spanish already French would be very easy I think.
French spelling and pronuntiation is hard, German is easier.
But many words in French are similar.
I learned fisrt Italian, and French was very easy for me.

The same as pretty good at the same as pretty good at the same as pretty when took french is more like spanish if youre young enough to train your tongue to speak when rented movies and to train your speaking normally and writing part but couldnt understand native speakers when rented movies and.
For almost year and it that romantic it that romantic it english has more germanic in it didnt sound nearly as pretty when took french.
The reading and to train your speaking it depends on if your tongue to pronounce after plodding through for almost year and to understand nada when people were speaking normally and to understand nada when took french is more germanic.

Ok so just to start both are hard and going to require just about the same amount of time and effort into the language. German i think is a little more difficult because of the number of acceptions to things and cases can get confusing but all in all i think German is a very fun language to learn but requires lots of time, if starting German with no previous knowledge then it’ll take you about 4-5 years to learn the language completely. Before i decided to take German in High-School i had the same decision and i chose German.
