DS will be given the choice between German and Spanish as a new second language when he starts his new school in sept.
What would you choose? And why?
Thanks

German much, much easier to learn, no worries about accents, rules fairly similar to English and Germans very supportive of tentative learners.

Spanish has a more universal application, will build on some of the earlier work if he's done French, great for the aspiring romantic in the future.

Spanish more widely spoken....

German is probably more useful
