Chinese Department Freshman Minor language is suitable for learning French or German?

I personally recommend learning French. French is easier than German, so it's a better choice as a second language. And you're a freshman now, and if you study hard, you should have no problem having a simple conversation for three years.

In addition, there are many French-speaking regions in the world, second only to English-speaking countries. For example, in Europe, although not all countries speak French, there are still many people who use it. In addition, the official languages of almost all international organizations and activities are English and French.

There are also many countries in North Africa where French is the first official language. Many large central enterprises in China have cooperation projects there, so it is still very useful for finding jobs in the future.

On the other floor, there is also a question about the big and small tongues. According to my French teacher, the big tongue is not made by everyone, and it needs to be practiced. French, on the other hand, has only a small tongue sound and is relatively simple to pronounce.

However, it takes more time to learn the yin and yang monolithic and verb conjugation in French, so it is best to lay a good foundation at the beginning of learning, and the more you learn it later, the easier it will be.

It is recommended that you learn French, because French is still easier than German, and there are more French-speaking regions and countries in the world than German, look at the Olympics, the official languages are English and French. At present, there are more economic and trade exchanges between China and Africa, and many African countries speak French, so there are many opportunities for future employment, and my personal suggestions are for reference only. If you have any questions, please ask additional questions.

Remember to adopt

English and German belong to the same language family: Germanic languages.

One of the main languages of the Germanic Germanic group of Indo-European languages. A: Indo-European languages are also known as Indo-Germanic languages (Indo-Germanic languages). The languages are spoken in Northern Europe, Central Europe (Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, etc.), Western Europe (the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands), and English-speaking countries and regions outside Europe, with a total population of more than 100 million.

The alphabet used in the Germanic language was not created by the Germans or Germanic peoples themselves, but was borrowed from the Romans in their dealings with the Romans, who had an advanced culture. In fact, the Romans did not create their own writings, but borrowed them from the Greek of Lower Italy.

French belongs to: Latin languages (also: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese).

Latin belongs to the Indo-European language family Italian Latin-Farich branch, originally a dialect of the Latium (Lazio in Italian) region of central Italy, and later spread Latin widely within the empire due to the expansion of the Roman Empire, which originated there, and designated Latin as the official language.

It is easier for the British and Americans to learn German than the Chinese, because the other languages are all alphabetically spelled with similarities. Whereas, Chinese is a language in its own right.

English and German belong to the same du

One language family - the Germanic zhi language family.

French - belongs to the Latin language group DAO (also: Inatralian, Spanish Banjung, Portuguese);

The British and Americans are certainly easier to learn German than Chinese, in fact, even the Arabs are easier to learn German than Chinese, Chinese are square words, and everything else is spelled alphabetically.

English and German are the same language, and I once saw an American speak German, which is very standard, but it will have an American accent.

English, German, and French both belong to the Indo-European language family

German is a Germanic language.

The French language of the family is Romance language, and Hui is also called Latin.

The bottom layer of the English answer is Germanic, but it contains a large number of Romance words, grammar, and pronunciation that have been largely assimilated by the Romance language family.

British Americans learn German slightly easier than Chinese, not too much, mainly in terms of vocabulary, grammar is about the same difficulty.

English, German.

Both Chinese and French belong to the same language family.

That is, the Indo-European language family, and in the Indo-European language family, there are also Russian, Greek versions, Poquansian, Hindi, Tajik, etc.

English, German, and French all belong to the same language family, but they belong to different language families, with English and German belonging to the Germanic language family, and French, Spanish and Italian belonging to the Latin language family.

English has distinct Germanic features in terms of grammar, but it is relatively close to French at the lexical level because it has absorbed a lot of French vocabulary.

Hello friends, first of all, there is no answer to this question, and anyone who tells you that you should learn German or that you should learn French is a hooligan. I used to graduate from 211 University with a German major, and my sister studied French. I hope my opinion is helpful to you, but also just "FYI", decided to do it yourself :

Language difficulty: German is more difficult. First of all, it is more difficult to do it in German or French than in English. But the grammar of German is a bit more complex than that of French.

Scope of application: French is used more widely. German-speaking countries are basically only a few countries such as Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, etc.

Because France used to have colonies, in addition to France, Belgium and other countries in Europe, there are also a large number of African countries that use French. Even in Vietnam, Asia, there are a lot of people who can speak French.

Employment situation: First of all, we must understand a truth: the premise of the employment situation we talk about is that you have learned the language well.

If you don't have real skills, no matter how good your job is, it doesn't matter what you want to do. As far as I know, as long as the level is good, whether it is German, French, or even English, the employment situation is very good. After all, we are such a big country, and there is a need for talents in this area.

Some of our German majors have gone to work as German teachers, some have gone to work in Germany, some have done foreign trade, and many, many others have not worked in German. Employment in French is about the same as in German. But one thing is different is that many of my friends who are learning French can go to Africa and work as translators with the engineering team or something.

The social environment may be worse when you go to Africa, but the treatment is still very good.

Addendum: Although there is more than one country where both languages are spoken, the main ones are Germany and France. Advantages of Germany:

Industry, automobiles, machinery, football, classics, etc., so many of the original works on this subject are written in German. France: luxury, perfumes, and more.

These are just some of the facts about these two languages and are for reference only. You go to university not only to learn a language, but also to learn the skills of self-analysis, independent thinking and decision-making.

I hope you learn more about these two countries and these two languages online, and then make your own decisions based on them. Don't take anyone's word for it, including me. Thank you!

Personally, I think German is more difficult, but the prospects are slightly better.

Depending on what you use it for, French is more extensive, and you see that the 08 Olympics were all about speaking French first and then English.

Learning Spanish for employment is better than French, there are so many people learning French now, it's not as good as before, and Spanish is easier to learn than French! It is recommended to learn Spanish.

In fact, in terms of difficulty, it is about the same, because both French and Spanish belong to the Latin family.

I've been learning French myself for almost four years.

In fact, French is not very difficult, or it is much better to get started.

Spanish is more widely spoken, and is spoken in Latin America and Spain, as well as in the southern United States.

Let's learn whichever is useful.

Sipanja is good, I'm crazy to learn French, it's too difficult.
