Different people have different strengths, some will find German easier, others will find French easier. In my opinion, French is easier.
According to the US Department of State, it takes English speakers 26 classroom hours to become fluent in French, and 30 classroom hours to become fluent in German. So they are very close.
Both German and French have their difficulties. This is also a matter of personal background, but both French or German vocabularies are reasonably easy to learn for an English speaker. I tend to think that German grammar is rather hard to master.
"better" isn't really fitting. German is easier to learn, but OTOH Germans seems to be a bit more eager to learn English than the French is. This would make French the "better" choice for improving your ability to communicate with Europeans.
Many people agree that French is a harder language to learn than Spanish, but French grammar more closely mirrors English grammar than Spanish grammar does. It is far better, if you have to choose between studying French or Spanish that you choose the language that is more useful to you since the level of difficulty of both languages (assuming you know English) is roughly equivalent. For example, we are not contrasting Spanish and Arabic where Arabic is significantly harder to learn than Spanish.
German is really useful, at school they tried to convince everyone to take it. It really helps more than French etc when getting a job.. its more business like
It depends what other languages you speak. French is certainly much more regular than English--it has the Académie française (French Academy) to thank for that. English also had one of the largest vocabularies of all the languages in the world, making it easier to learn on a basic level, but harder to become fluent in.
To learn to speak it, German is harder, yes.
French is a more popular spoken language in Europe than German

That depends on your own mother tongue. If you speak English at home then German can be quite hard. Nouns are either masculine, feminine or neuter, word order is different, correct pronunciation is tricky. It is harder than learning Spanish and about as hard as learning French.

This question is based more on opinion than fact. In my opinion writing is harder.
While I personally teach German, there are several advantages to choosing to learn German over French. These include economic opportunities in Germany, access to a larger European audience (since German is more widely spoken in Europe than French), a rich cultural heritage, enhanced travel experiences, and potential benefits in fields like engineering and technology. Many learners find German grammar more logical and structured. However, your choice should align with your interests, career goals, and travel plans, as both languages offer unique benefits.
