Well, so this year I finished my language learning as this:
Spanish: Native
English: C1
Brazilian Portuguese: B1
Norwegian: A1.
My plans for 2016 are to improve all of the mentioned before and to restart learning Mandarin Chinese. What are your stats and your goals for the next year(this year if it's already January 1st)

English: Native
German: B1(.5)
My main goal is to keep on improving my German for this next year, and I'll be studying abroad in Munich during the summer so that'll definitely help. Never been to Germany before.

lmoa dood
Should I study German or Spanish in 2016? Here's some info:
Spanish
>A1 level (haven't studied it)
>I like Spanish speakers more
>Language sounds better to me
German
>B1 level (Goethe certificate, sehr gut)
>it's way easier than Spanish for me because of Dutch
>More speakers in my proximity
For what it's worth, I'm a maths/physics major. Really can't decide what to focus on.

German would be ez for you. To draw a little parallel I can already get the jist of stuff written in Dutch because of my German knowledge. It's like reading Middle English as an English speaker.
If you want more of a challenge, go Spanish. If you want it to be easy go German.

Honestly what I want the most is to speak another language at a good level (C1). I might be drawn to Spanish more, but German is easier.
As for job opportunities, I reckon German would help me more.

If you plan on staying in Europe for a long time, German would likely be your best bet.

Depends on your interests.
I would say that if you want to move without any minimum problem into Germany, Austria and Switzerland(Well, some say it's quite a different dialect) and to keep enjoying the posibilities of the first world there and too for work and things like that, apart from delicious chocolates, cakes and great culture, then German.
If you want to invest into growing Hispanic Speaking countries in three continents to become really rich because of posibilities, discover paradise-like places, then Spanish.

Spot on. On the one hand, German is important in this part of Europe and I have good connections in Germany and Switzerland.
On the other hand, Latin America is an untapped region. I want to tap that.
