The culture....OMG...it is so much closer to the German culture.  Look at the past, look at what happened. Also, look at today.  Those two countries, politically, are closer allies than France and Spain.

yep, French is a romance language (those languages that come from latin), but it isn't in South America, it is in Europe(just in case)

Spanish is easier than French or English.

German is very similar to English in many respects (mostly in the sounds), but has a lot of different grammatical rules. \nSpanish shares many of the same grammatical rules (other than the adjective behind the noun and things like that that are fairly simple to learn), and some of the words are similar to english words. \n\nIf you're looking to learn a different language and you only know English already, I would suggest Spanish, the grammatical abnormalities (like the multiple articles in different tenses) are hard to catch on to. But there are no real languages as similar to English as Spanish is to Portuguese, etc. But once you learn a language like Spanish or German, it would open up the door to you to many other dialects/languages if you're interested.

I don't know about France, or Spain but here's a little taste of \nEnglish Education.\n\n\nhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,,1954606,00.html\n\nhttp://www.vdare.com/derbyshire/061019_white.htm\n\nI wonder if the Brits are ready to make English their second language?\n\n\nOh yeah, just found this....\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6174854.stm\n\nThey're literally begging for it. Is that "pushover" or "pusher"?

mmmm, depends on what you are searching a second language for. Spanish is useful as well as French for getting along with people around the world. This 2 languages along with English are great for traveling or having relationships with people of other countries. Mandarine is good aldo, but very difficult to learn, so, I think that with Spanish, French and English you are done. Besides, once you have them you get the basics of lots of other languages like italian, german, etc.

It's a culture. Why do French people name their kids Jacques and Francoise? Germans name their kids Hans and Ute? Spanish speakers Carlos and Pilar? Just respect and accept.
