French-A love romantic language she loves lot
Latin-A great language to learn, because it will be easier to learn another language afterwards

Personally, I'm taking French and I love it.
My friends all tell me it's a lot easier than Spanish, too. I also think French is pretty easy.
But Spanish is a big language and it's spoken a lot, and probably more than French.
I probably would knock out Latin, though, as it isn't used too much.

Spanish is America's second language.
French...is a language to learn just for the fun of it.
Latin is never used unless you want to be a scientist/historian/lawyer.

i'd say spanish, definitely. is your friend planning on doing something like being a history major, or getting a doctorate? if so, then latin would be useful too... however, she would use spanish way more in daily life since she lives in florida. i live where there are many spanish influences and learning spanish has really helped me. besides that, it's an easy language.

Spanish.
It is really simple;and a lot of the words sound alike.

Spanish. Cognates galore.

All romance languages are interrelated in some ways. Latin is kind of the base language, but it doesn't really help with other languages.
I took 7 years of French (well, 8 now), and I love it - it sounds beautiful and it was easy for me.
Spanish, though, is a pretty useful language, since there are a lot of people in the US who speak it. It's good for getting jobs, too.
So overall, I'd recommend Spanish as the most useful.
I'd still pick French though. =D
Good luck!

I took German, and I really regret it. If I could, I would choose Latin. It's much more interesting, since it includes history, and it allows you to read old documents. Scientific classification is also based on latin.
In my experience schools do a really bad job at teaching languages, though, so don't expect to learn anything.

I'd also have to say Spanish. French isnt very practical unless she's planning on living somewhere in Europe. & a lot of employers these days are more likely to hire someone who can speak Spanish, rather than French, coz it is the 'unofficial second language of the US'
Latin I wouldn't reccommend, because it IS a dead language, and learning one language that you dont particularily like, just so its easier to learn another language is pretty much pointless. (and a lot more work!)
I hope she ends up taking something that she'll use later on- or is at least able to decide what to take before deadlines are up & she gets placed in some horrid thing like computer tech. (at least, that's how it goes over here) :]

i took French in high school but honestly i would recommend Spanish. A lot more people in the U.S speak the language and it can come in handy for jobs,etc. My personal opinion is that it will come in handy more.
