Is German a fun language?

Oh, yes, way fun!  Cool grammar, cool music, neat words (loooong ones).  You don't have to sound like some mad evil monster either.  I personally find the language quite romantic (when spoken well).  Read neat poetry, too.  Nice nice people...everyone I've met, you try to speak German, they just compliment the heck out of you and say your german is so good! Germans think their language is more difficult than quantum physics, so anything you say is heartily welcomed.  Just try not to have the king or queen of grammar for a teacher, there's a lot of grammar, it's complicated, and you're better off picking it up slowly than trying to memorize it all at once.  Also, los!

My linguistics lecturer once told us that the funniest word in the world is 'duck'. Apparently, the funniness crosses all linguistic boundaries. Ente, pato, canard, anatra, doesn't matter which language, it's native speakers find it funny. Nobody's quite sure why.

Italian is more difficult than Spanish, but not as difficult as German.\n\nEsperanto is very, very easy to learn.

Of course it's a great word.  I think that any word with the sound "oo" in it is a funny word.  Try it.  Doofus.  Goofy.  Poo.  Need any more proof?  Thirty two!!

It depends how much time you are willing to spend on one language. Language is a tool for communication. It will help you to understand a culture or others from a language. You could start it from watching french movies or listen french songs to gain your interesting. Once you enjoy the language that brings you exploring new experience , the learning process will not be hard at all.

It depends on your ability to learn a language. For everyone saying spanish and french are so close to english actually german is closer as english is a germanic language NOT a romance language ( look it up, oh and i speak 6 languages and have a masters in linguistics so my answer is sound). Just because German would be the closest to english does not mean it is therefore the easiest as the grammar might be offputting to many people. In fact i found russian easier. So it really depends on you personally. A few things might contribute to the ease of a particular language such as, your exposure to it and your ability to retain large amounts of information and apply them. My suggestion is whatever the language you would like to learn just immerse yourself in it: Books, movies, videos etc. Now linguistically some languages are suppose to be easier to learn than others, for example spanish and french are considered categoy 1, german either a 2 or 3, russian a 4 and chinese, hungarian, finish and arabic 5.... but i found french harder than russian..so it really is up to you.

Czech is a complicated language with a whole bunch of grammar stuff you have to learn and a difficult pronounciation. Czech and German are not similar at all, but having learned one foreign language already will probably help you a bit though. You will understand the grammar better even though those two languages are so different. Don't expect the German vocabulary to be useful while learning Czech though.

Wow! Fun comes in so many forms. I've always had a difficult time with people asking me, "What do you do for fun?" I so often want to say to them......"EVERYTHING!" I guess the way I look at it, why live if you can't make life fun? Am I right?\n\nSo waking up and remembering you are going to see a good friend today......that's fun! \nDrying your hair and finding some freaky way to wear it that will totally embarass your kids......that's fun!\nDriving down the road with the greatest CD ever playing while you and your kids are singing at the top of your lungs....That's fun!\nGetting to work and being greeted by a friend with a funny story.....that's fun!\nSpending the afternoon sitting by the creek reading a book while the sun beats down on your face......that's fun!\nBurning dinner and having to call the pizza man to deliver ....that's hilarious and fun!\nWriting about my day in my journal before going to bed. Crying at things that bring out so much emotion in me...laughing as I remember silly things people said. It is all fun!\n\nI guess what I'm saying is......it doesn't have to be Skiing is fun, travelling is fun, playing football is fun. It's doing and being and enjoying even the small things......that are FUN! :)

you shouldn't single out germans like this. Some americans might like it too.

I have stayed last Xmas two weeks there. I liked it a lot, wish to go again there. A lot of people speak English and German so you should have no problem, I didn't. Is is relatively cheap. For places to have fun there are a lot but you have to find them for yourself (this ca get very exciting actually)

Spanish has more speakers worldwide than German. If you want to study political science/international speaking more languages in general may be useful. If you are especially interested in south American politics there won't be a way around Spanish, if you are more interested in European politics German may be at least as useful. \n\nI'd say it depends how good your German is after 4 years. Do you think it really needs more work, or do you feel comfortable talking/reading it? If you feel pretty good about your German speaking abilities, learn an additional language, if you don't it may be better to learn German so that you are pretty good at it (after all you already invested 4 years into it) before you go on for spanish.
