German is going to be very useful in the future since its economy is very big for European measures. Meanwhile, the number of people learning this language is rapidly declining. Dutch government has set up a campaign for youngsters to learn the language since zeh Germans are our #1 trade partner.

Chinese is not useful this is a fact, it is a meme language do not waste your time.


>>52645777
>>52646093

German is completely worthless as a foreign language.

-Germans speak English well, and improving. French do not and they are not improving.
-German Speaking area is declining in population, French one is growing in Europe and globally.
-German economic area is bigger in Europe but is declining, French declining less so but smaller initially.
-German is harder to learn than a Romance language.
-If you learn a Romance language like French then Spanish/Italian/Port are easier, German adds zero in that regard.
-Germany is a shit-tier holiday country so no real application there.
-German has zero international presence as a language, French has far more international weight.

Honestly Spanish is the sensible choice, but i can see why a European might pick French over it.
I don't see any benefit to German aside from niche specific economic reasons, but if you are going to work in Germany having the language is unlikely to get you the job. Honestly you are probably not going to meet Germans with worst English than you in a professional setting. Imo this is why Chinese is also a shit tier language to both with.

Merry Christmas, OP. Everything correct, except French. It's a basic child language with only 100,000 words (compared to English's 1 million+) that is on course for extinction.

>>52645735

French is a great language to learn but its not useful.

Why do you retards even care about this? Regardless of the language you should be learning it for your own sake, not its utility (which you will find in pretty much anything you master)
>>
>>52652272
And yet, it's like the "mother" of English
>>
>>52652767
>you should be learning it for your own sake, not its utility
Why would you waste your time learning anything for its own sake when you could spend that same time learning something equally rewarding that will also pay dividends?

I agree, with this added qualification.
>>
>>52653257

Because if you master it, you will find opportunities and work in any language of your choosing bar obvious 3rd world (still opportunities) and dead languages.

Every country needs its multilingual public and private sector workers. Every country has those roles available. There may be more or less of those roles available in different countries, but more often than not that is counteracted by the number of people learning the language.

Replace French with Russian, and create a new "less than useless" tier for French.

Then I agree.

> Africa
A small part of Africa that has a lot of overlap with the larger English-speaking part of Africa.

>a lot of Europe
Both Russian, German and English have more speakers in Europe than French does. The francophone part of Europe is not that big. It consists of France and small areas in neighbouring countries.

> Quebec
Small part of Canada, where everyone already speaks English anyway.
