It just depends on what you are thinking of doing with your future and where you are thinking of living.\n\nThey speak Spanish in Spain, most of South and Central America, Mexico, and much of the US although it is not the official language. This makes it one of the most useful languages in the world, probably coming third after Mandarin Chinese and English.\n\nThey speak French in France, Quebec, southern Belgium, part of Switzerland, and parts of Africa. Although countries like Cambodia and Laos used to be French colonies, very few people there speak French these days. French is no longer a particularly useful language.\n\nSo you need to decide where you are likely to live, work or visit in the future and with whom you are likely to want to communicate!

Afrikaans evolved from Dutch, but there are major differences between Afrikaans and Dutch, for the past century or so. So much so, that Afrikaans and Dutch speakers often tend to switch to English, because it is easier to converse with each other in that language. (The older Afrikaans people are not always very happy to switch to English, because of the war between Afrikaners and the English about a century ago.)\n\nIt is interesting that the Flemish language, spoken in Belgium, is closer to Afrikaans than Dutch. I am not sure why this is - it seems that Flemish (Vlaams) was subjected to more or less the same kind of influences while evolving from Dutch.

Africa is not a country but a continent.  As such, there are many countries with many languages.\n\nMany people in Africa speak three or more langauges, especially those in rural places.  I know a guy from Tunisia who speaks five: English, French, Spanish, Italian and Arabic.  \n\nThe first langauge many people learn is their local language, which may only be spoken in their region or even their city.\n\nIn West Africa, many people who do a lot of business also speak Swahili, since they have to communicate with people from many different towns, cities, or villages, and they need a common language to communicate.\n\nThen in different areas, there are colonial languages: in Western- and Southern-Africa (ex: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa), the colonial language is mostly English.  In East Africa (ex: Cote d'Ivoire, Camaroon), it's French.  In northern regions (ex: Tunisia, Egypt), it's Arabic, though it's not really a colonial langauge.  Many of these countries have two or three of the "major" languages.  Some countries also speak Spanish, Dutch, or Portuguese.\n\nThen in South Africa, they have their own language called Afrikaans, which I believe is a mixture of English and Dutch.

Belgium.\n"as a result of the 1993 constitutional revision that furthered devolution into a federal state, there are now three levels of government (federal, regional, and linguistic community) with a complex division of responsibilities; this reality leaves six governments each with its own legislative assembly"
