What language should I take in high school?
Latin, German, French, SPanish
Im looking to go into business, economics, or engineering. Latin seems like a waste since im not gonna go into medical or science. German seems kinda good because it has a honors society at our school. French idk. Spanish looks good because it seems in America you will use it a lot? Leaning towards Spanish or German.

Spanish. Looks good on your resume for a lot of jobs considering Spanish is spoken a lot in the US.

If it were up to me, I would take German. It bears a lot of resemblance to English; the hardest thing about it is the verbs. I actually recently started teaching myself German.
I'm taking Japanese in high school, which I gather most high schools don't have. From what I've seen and heard, colleges don't care much about what language you take, only that you stick with it. Spanish is the most practical of those, but don't take it if you don't want to just because you think it will get you a job.

Spanish was really easy for me, but I've heard that German is the easiest language for an English speaker to learn. I have no idea if that's true, but that's what I've heard. But Spanish is the one that would be the most useful probably.

German is exclusively speaken in germany. So unless you plan on living there its not going to help you a whole lot. Spanish, on the otherhand is used a lot in the US andall over the world. It will look good when you're applying for college too. If you want to go into buisness and engineering, id definitely chose spanish

Definitely Spanish. It's really beneficial to learn Spanish in the US. A lot of people are Hispanic, especially where I live. It just makes communicating easier. But if you are going to be spending a lot of time in Germany or France, the other two would be your best bet.
Spanish would be easier to learn.

i took french and i love it! english, french, and chinese are the best languages in the business field around the world. true in america spanish is more useful but because of this you can learn it anytime anywhere. whereas french will be harder to learn and more impressive on a resume.
