College: Which language to learn?

I'd recommend Spanish, because I learned Spanish for a while and discovered that the other romance languages came naturally.

Learn French, then you can say you know a dead language in a couple years

Spanish is going to help the most by far if you live in US. It's a nice advantage to have when interviewing. Depending on what field you're getting into, you'll like deal with Spanish speakers and companies like that.

French can be nice if you plan on doing any traveling. I mean, most people speak English, but some people also speak French. Lot's of Europe and and especially countries in Africa speak French.

It terms of practicality and overall betterment of life and your career: Spanish.

For possible traveling: Spanish, and then French.

>tl;dr: Learn Spanish, it will help a lot. Then pick up any other languages you want to after that

This. Many Europeans have at least some proficiency in English, so there's really not a whole lot of incentive to study French or German.

German can open lots of gates in some sectors like engineering or pharmaceutics. I would probably choose Spanish.
Spanish>German>French I would chose if I were you

If you look at it logically, you should go for Spanish.

southamerica and spain

french

german
kek, good luck learning german as a hobby but germany is a good place to live, I´m an immigrant and I´m really happy here no trolling

If you're a lawyer, then definitely German. Also, like anon said, Germany is an exquisite country to live in. Don't underestimate its use, German is the no. 1 most spoken language in Europe. Austria, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic etc. are all countries either on the top or on the rise in Europe. France is falling apart.

Government related job could be in diplomacy or foreign affairs, then I'd go for French. Spanish will follow easily after French btw.

Unless you are majoring in whichever language you choose, you likely won't learn it beyond ordering food or making a hotel reservation.

Learn Chinese, Arabic, Japanese. These are the only ones which pay well. The rest will land you a very shitty teacher job workihg for peanuts.

>>17379598
>Belgium,Poland, Czech Republic
You have no clue about what you are talking about.

>>17379617
>Chinese, Arabic
This for government jobs. The ability to interpret communists and savages is super valuable.

>>17379617
>Chinese, Arabic, Japanese
Only Arabic and maybe Chinese would be a useful one. German is way more useful than Japanese

>>17379638
forget about chinese, japanese and arabic because they usually use natives or people whose parents are natives.

>>17379648
Arabic is actually very useful if you want to make bank in a place like Dubai or Saudi Arabia,that pay extremely well if you have western education

>>17379633
Do you?

> muh reading comprehension

>>17379653
>Dubai
And you'll get a life sentence for possessing a gram of weed. Nice place!

I took Spanish on and off through junior high, high school, and college, and I couldn't hold a conversation in it now-- I almost could the last time I was taking it though, and a good bit of that was retreading things

Unfortunately this is how it works out for most people. Not many choose to maintain what they've learned. Shame, because it's a nice skill to have.
