Which language should I learn next? French or Spanish?
Well, this is my last year of Latin in high school, and I have been considering learning another language. Preferably a spoken language, in contrast with Latin, and preferably one of the Romantic languages. I have narrowed down my choices to either Spanish or French. This is my dilemma: I live in Texas, and therefore learning Spanish would be logically beneficial; however, French is very related to most English words.
Should I learn either French or Spanish following Latin? Thanks!

I would suggest Spanish first for two reasons:
1-Spanish is simply more useful if you want to travel. It’s found in many more countries than French.
2-Spanish is a simpler language to learn. Once you master basic grammar and vocabulary, it is very easy to keep going from there on. French is more complicated quite frankly, and much more difficult to read, write and comprehend.
Spanish
Go for spainsh… you will use it more now in this country than French…
I’d do french..
Spanish. That would be something good to put on your Resume’. Besides, that’s the second most spoken language in the U.S. and would definately help with finding a job.
Spanish. It is the third most spoken language next to Chinese and English.
¡Buenas suerte, amigo!
You’ve said it. If you want to learn something more, let’s say useful, go with Spanish. If you don’t like following the main stream, French is a good choice and it is also Latin, which may help you if you also decide learning Spanish later on.
Now for a thought: If you are in Texas and do not speak Spanish and do you survive? By Mimic?
Take the Spanish, for every reason you mentioned. You can take French after you finish the Spanish. Being bilingual in a language that is widely used will help you in the work force.
Spanish would help you out more in the long run, as far as getting paid more for a job, but French is a much prettier language. Why not both? Do one now, and the other one later. The more languages you know, the better!
Espanol…
way more people speak it
spanish
you answered your own question.
You live in TEXAS!! Which is close to MEXICO!!
LEARN SPANISH!!!
Latin is great for the roots of words.
Spanish starts slightly difficult, and gets easier. French starts easy, and gets progressively more difficult.
As someone who took both Spanish and French in school, I’d recommend Spanish, for ease of learning, and the consistency of the language itself. Of course, Spanish is more useful nowadays, no matter where in the US you are.
Spanish, definetely. it opens up so many more job oppurtunities, especially in your area. spanish is one of the top five languages. you obviously speak english, and unless you’re gonna tackle Mandarin Chinese, you should go for spanish. french is remarkably absent in that list. it is a dying language.
if you change your mind away from a romance language, try russian. its very fun to learn. i’m learning it now in high school.
Spanish because you live in Texas. You will be surprised to find how many Spanish words are closely related to English words. (more so than French)
Give yourself "un touche de charme"
Learn French
French! I will learn French!!!

Take both for a semester and then decide. But, no doubt, Spanish will be more useful…

French is much more sexier.
my advise to you is it doesn’t matter i know both languages and if you know french you know Spanish some of the words are the same and the conjugations are similar. all depending on where you live that is how i would decided
French is a very beautifull language but you will use Spanish in this country more than anything else but English.
