In uni, signing up for fall semester classes, I'll be a junior. I need to take a language class for my psych major and I have no idea what I should choose. I don't want to take any ass-blastingly difficult, but I don't really have much of a scope on language difficulty, I only took 2 years of high school Spanish, and that was a joke. What do? How hard is Russian?

Oh, here are my options:
Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian, American sign, or Spanish.

One lauguage class isn't going to teach you much anything useful, so go with whatever really. Languages that require learning a whole now writing system (Arabic, Greek, Chinese and Russian) take more time to learn and Arabic and Chinese pronounciation are quite different from western languages so that's an extra difficulty to master. French, German and Spanish are easier and quite useful if you manage to acutally learn something. Latin is interesting, but ultimately useless outside medicine or law and its grammatically challenging to a native English speaker. I have no experience in ASL, but it might be more interesting than regular languages.
Honestly, I'd recommend taking Spanish, if you've done it before, or French, because it has similar vocab as Spanish and English, so you've a head start. That's the easiest route.

Thanks. Italian is very similar to Spanish right? I know I find their culture more interesting, so that would be a plus.

What does it say on the girl's back in that gif?

Oh right, update, Spanish won the toss. Too bad we're building that glorious wall so Spanish will be useless to me.
