No doubt: Spanish.
So many more people, so many more countries, so much more of the world is opened up to you in new ways.
If you live in the US, there are more Spanish speakers, and if you took all the Spanish speakers in the US and put them on an island, they would be the world’s third most populated Spanish-speaking country (second to Mexico and Spain).
Spanish!! because it is like a universal language and you Filipinos can also understand it..
Depends , what are you learning another language for?
If it is just to learn another language I would pick the one that you think suits you most.
As far as ease goes I believe spanish is the easier of the two.
For practicality purposes, spanish would be more (practical assuming you live in the USA).
You don’t get too much of a chance to practice french in the USA .You would only get real use out of it if for say you moved to Canada or europe. Versus spanish is used somewhat throughout the southwest of America , you get a chance to be paid more at some jobs in the US if you also speak spanish and thanks to illegal immigration at some point or another you will most likely run into someone who speaks fluent spanish.
It depends on what region of the world you live in or what kind of plans you have. If you live in North America, for the most part, it’s probably better to learn Spanish (that is, if you’re learning the language to use it to communicate with others for either fun or business.)
French is a little bit more useful if you want to know a slightly more “exotic” language. I know lots of people who speak Spanish, but not many who speak French. Also take into account that the art world and romantics have a preferance for Spanish, so…
If it’s possible, try to learn both languages. Or if not, which can you cover a little easier? Is it harder for you to read Spanish or to speak French?
Hope that helped.
i’d have to say spanish as it is easier to pronounce, and everything is more or less written as it should be said. there are a lot of cognative terms (things that are similar in english and in spanish) so you can pick up more. and more people speak spanish, so overall, it’s the best choice for future need. hope that helps!
Spanish for speaking and french for reading.hahaha!
i was just joking.
I think you should learn both of them.
first french and then Spanish cause french brings you good job opportunities. and also alredy you know how to read french so you can write it as well with alittle practice you will learn to speak in french too. so you’ll learn french easier and faster than spanish.
Spanish.
1 – There are more Spanish speakers in the whole world.
2 – The Spanish speakers population is increasing, as the French speakers population is decreasing.
3 – Spanish is far more esay to learn for English speakers. It is a fonetic language with clear rules, and it has got only one accent ´, and French has three differente ones ´^ and I’m sorry I don’t find the third one in my keyboard.
4 – In many countries where French is been spoken (Canada, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland) the inhabitants do speak other languages as well, and this makes them very skilled, so they usually can speak English too.
5 – The current literature production is more nowadays more interesting in Spanish than in French, and of course the amount is larger.
Spanish. It’s used in more places.
If there are more Spanish speaking individuals in the world (apparently) wouldn’t it be more interesting to learn French first then?
I would personally go and learn French first and that’s what I’m doing myself. You said you can read it (and I’m assuming that means understanding it also) so you’d be better off learning how to pronounce what you read because having the ability to speak a language is important, you can always go back and learn how to read it. If you can speak Spanish then wherever you are, you’d be able to get by and because you can speak it you would be able to distinguish the sound of those words to the writing of the language itself. You also need to take into consideration that if you learn one of the two languages you proposed you’ll be able to learn the other one quickly because they’re very similar. If you’re planing on learning both languages then it isn’t a big deal which one you learn first because you’ll end up learning them both in the end.
I would choose French because not many people are fond of it and don’t take the time to actually learn it properly (unless they themselves are French or they’re crazily in love with the language). I honestly adore the French language, but I also enjoy the Spanish language, it’s very pretty.
Whichever you choose keep in mind of your surroundings and you’re preference. If you feel you have a better edge on Spanish then continue learning it and then attempt to further learn French or vice versa.
Or you could flip a coin: heads is Spanish, tails is French.
Lol
Good luck! Whatever you choose, it’ll be difficult and time consuming, but I praise you for learning different languages.They will aid you very much in the future.
Spanish
After Chinese and English, Spanish is the third most spoken language in the world today. It is the official language of 21 countries and the second language in many more, such as the U.S.A. In countries like Japan and Brasil, the study of Spanish as a foreign language has been growing at a very fast pace indeed in recent years. Around 400 million people speak Spanish worldwide and the number continues to grow.
The use of Spanish is also growing in the business world. As the Spanish and South American economies continue to grow and develop, along with the Hispanic market in the United States, interest in Spanish and Hispanic is also increasing.
Spanish is the second most used language in international communication, and it is an official language of the United Nations, the European Union, Mercosur and many other important organizations.
