  1. german is such a beautiful and strong language and culture not to mention the sentance structure is only slightly different than english

  2. ask some upper classmen about the teachers…take the class with the easiest teacher…foregn language class is ap ain in the ass

  3. Definitely sign language. You will be able to get a good job working with the deaf community if that is something you are interested in. German and French won’t really help you.

  4. I agree with the above, ask the upper classmen about the teachers.

    I had a kick ass german teacher who had great stories

    fkk stories

  5. French, mostly because if you know french, then you know spanish, the 2 lang. are alot alike

  6. depends on what you think you will use……i took french………i should have taken spanish and punjabi because now i’m in california….

  7. well, wat do u plan to work at in the future??? like, wat u want to work at after u graduate? im gonna be repairing computers, but since i like art, i could be learning french or german so if one day i go over there, ill be able to comunicate….

  8. Well, I would say Chinese. Knowing this language would be helpful because they are the world’s fastest growing economy. But sign language will be good also. I think this way of communcating is most meaningful because there aren’t a real high percentage of people who knows this form of communication.

  9. My personal choice would be sign language.
    In the US not many people speech German of french.
    But there are many deaf people who are usually able to communicate with only a small group of people.
    I learned sign language and found it very useful and helpful.
    It always make a deaf person very happy to communicate with others!!

  10. all of it,the sign language seems the least important ,depends on you life and whats in it.
    Spanish and English are the main ones already

  11. Wow, I’d definetly try sign language. That skill will be more handy when you’re applying for jobs.

    Good luck!

  13. French or sign…Francais est tres belle

    Sign…marketable skill

    German- language of horse training…

  14. Depends what will be your profession. If you have Technical profession than learn German. Depend what you have more in your Region, French or Germans and with whom country your Region more collaborate.

  15. if i had sign language at my school i would totally do that. i mean u can get really good jobs if u can speak english spanish and sign in both english and spanish…. is their a difference in the laugages? u should let me know.

  16. French-German is spoken in basically only in Germany, Austrian and Switzerland. French however is spoken in dozens of countries.

  17. DEFINITELY sign language. I sign, and I have met many interesting deaf/mute people. I think it’s because they have so few oppurtunities to express themselves. Also you will have the ability to talk across rooms in noisy places and in meetings without getting bollocked (theoretically). If not then German, because Germany is beautiful and the German people are excellent. And good beer.

  18. Learn some Slavic language..
    let say Macedonian like oldest of all
    and after you can understand all other slav languages like russian, serbian….
    or learn slovio

  19. I teach Sign language, and kids who have a hard time learning other languages usually find sign language easier.

    Also, You can communicate with people who are deaf and hard of hearing,and it can open up career options for you that learning German or french simply wouldn’t do.And, there isn’t a big state test at the end of the course. (At least not in New York).
