"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.
French children are first taught French. The first foreign language is English, then Spanish, then German.
Yes, many French people do learn German as a second language in school or through private study. German is a commonly taught foreign language in France, alongside English and Spanish. Learning German can be beneficial for French individuals who want to work, study, or travel in German-speaking countries.
The Department of Defense lists French as one of the easiest languages to learn, but in my personal experience I think German is harder. That seems to confirm the DoD view. I am not German, but I can say German is not a sick language. You might not like it, but German is beautiful in its own way just as French is. Personally I found French rather easier to learn, but that doesn't prove anything.
My experience of meeting Romanians is that if their first language is Romanian they learn French as a second language but if their first language is Hungarian they learn German.
There are several online sites to learn German. The link below is to one of the better sites.
The choice between learning French or German depends on your specific goals. French is spoken widely across the world and is an official language of many international organizations. German is important for opportunities in industries like engineering and technology, especially in Europe. Consider your career aspirations and personal interests to determine which language is more important for you to learn.
yes it is a great language to learn better than spanish hehe but it is.... bonjour
German!
Mandarin is the hardest language to learn. It takes over 1000 hours to learn. But languages like french, Spanish and Japanese takes only 400 hours to learn
There are no requirements. I'm sure there are many french and German people who are even trying to teach their own dogs and cats french and German even at this moment. If you want to say "cat" in french, say "Le chat". But seriously, you should probably have some experience with other romance languages such as spanish or English. It will be easier to learn French. If you want to learn German, you should probably look into the Germanic languages. Although I took an introductory course in German and I didn't find it all that different from learning Spanish or French or Japanese, and I've learned some of all of those languages. The best thing you can do is rent some movies in French or German. I recommend Run Lola Run for German. Good luck.
German has the second largest number of first language speaking people in Europe.Coming after Russian but before French and English.It is also one of the world's major languages.Also it's very easy to learn and very fun to learn---------------------------------------------------It is easy to learn? And what about 'deutsche Sprache - schwere Sprache'? I think if the questioner never plans to leave America he'd better learn Spanish. Next option for me would be French. In lots of former colonies it is still an official language and therefore in many countries in Africa, some islands and don't forget Quebec. And then I would maybe think of German. I have nothing against my mother tongue but I am glad that I don't have to learn German as a second language.
