In summary, when deciding which language to learn, consider your goals and interests. Spanish is more useful in the US and parts of Europe, while French is more useful in Africa, parts of the Middle East, and Canada. Both languages have rich literary and historical traditions. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which language is "better to know."

I thought for a second that this was a very crappy French..
Never realized how similar Spanish and French are..
I always knew Italian was similar...

Probably because the French are so stubborn and refuse to learn English...

That's exactly the reason why I feel a bit sorry for learning french for 4 years.

French grammar is hard, but then, I don't know about spanish grammar, since I didn't learn spanish.

Btw, Belgium and Switzerland are small. And of course france speaks french. And they speak only french.
More than 60 % of the Belgian people speak Dutch as their mothertongue ! But, yes , we also speak French. I agree with Cyrus though, French is more spoken in Europe than Spanish.

You are right when you say that the French suck at speaking other languages, but so do the Italians and the Spanish. Trust me, i know from a daily experience LOL :)

I studied French for 8 years in high school (which is required here in Belgium) and i also studied Italian in evening classes. I assure you that French grammar is much harder than Spanish/Italian grammar.
