My French class was a real pain. My teacher was French and drove us crazy with her world view. German ended up being a better match and easier for me to learn. What are your goals? If you are looking for college, Latin will help your SAT or ACT sore. I know the school do not offer eastern and middle eastern languages but they are in demand in the US. You have lots of options.

Spanish would probably be the language then. But there are just tooooooooooo many exceptions. The preterit and imperfect tense. Accent marks, when to put them.
Yo, tu, el, ella, usted, nosotros, vosotros, ellos, ellas and Ustedes all have different spellings for the same word. It can get confusing.
Absolutely correct.Bit of advice...I believe that if you really want to learn a foreign language then you must use it in every day life. After learning German language for almost 10 years in school, but not using it at all after that, I forgot almost everything. On the other hand I started learning English only in high school and even then only as a second language. However, by using it every day since I started university, both in my studies and other things (internet, cable TV, comics and books, etc) I came with it to this point where I'm now...
Forget about german as a romantic language...believe me, I know...I've had a german boyfriend once.
German confuses me sometimes. A lake in Dutch is "meer", while in German it is "Zee". A sea in Dutch is "zee" and in German "Meer". So german isn't logical after all

That, and speak loudItaliano is easy , you just need to move the hands a lot when speaking.8)
Yes, that too, just to make your point off course. Nice language actually very descriptive but completely useless outside Italy, Switzerland and some parts of Argentina.
...and fast.That, and speak loud
Well, the English agree with us, after all, they call it the sea as well. The Germans have only the French as allies (La mer)
Yeah, but English is a Germanic language, so who cares what the English think.
So is Dutch, so die Deutch sprechende Leute have the majority of the Germanic languages disagreeing with them
