Sincerely, I'd take Spanish first.

Unless you want to come in Quebec or go in France or Switzerland. Even in Quebec, you go at Montreal and everyone speak English. If you want to please Quebecers, just learn a few words, and then we'll be happy :P. Spanish can be more useful in USA than French (my guess...) and in many countries in South America. But once you'll have learned one, the other one will be easy (they have lots of similarities). Your call ;).

What is easier to learn, Spanish or French? {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 09:47

Spanish. Maybe I'm biased with spanish being my native language, but seems to me french should be harder for an american to pronunciate... slappydavid Apr 19, 10:03

Being French canadian, I thought French would be easier... nomyst Apr 19, 10:08

I would have figured that being French-Canadian you would've already been bilingual. {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 10:22

Well, I guess I am since I'm speaking to you right now in English... nomyst Apr 19, 10:31

I meant raised bilingual. Just assumed most families in that part of Canada would use both languages. Guess I was wrong :-) {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 10:35

Hehe :) Not quite, but ... nomyst Apr 19, 10:38

Is there still a strong push for the region to secede from Canada? {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 10:41

Hard to tell... Depends on which side you are :P nomyst Apr 19, 10:46

One of these days I'll actually visit Canada. Would love to drive straight across country, from Montreal to Vancouver. {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 10:55

At least start from Quebec city... nomyst Apr 19, 10:57

I'd get in trouble for saying "KWUH-bec" instead of "Keh-BEC".. I still say Eye-ran and Pack-ih-Stan, not stahhn (sorry Obama) {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 11:09

If you say 'J'aime KWUH-bec', we forget really fast the pronunciation :P. {nm} nomyst Apr 19, 11:11

Do it right Take a ferry from Bar Harbor ME, start in Nova Scotia, then head west. The only province you miss is Nefoundland/Labrador. Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 19, 12:39

Yep I'm American. Never picked up a language in high school and was thinking of doing it now. {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 10:21

You're absolutely right about Spanish being more useful here. It's amazing how much of it is appearing even in the supermarket on the dave3626 Apr 19, 10:36

Short on Spanish speakers? You must be in Idaho. ;-) CrankYanker Apr 19, 11:02

Yeah, why a person would want to go from sunshine and warmth to a city that turns into ice and wind in the winter, I have no idea. {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 11:05

Depends on what your own language is, but I think Spanish is easiest for English speaking students. {nm} CrankYanker Apr 19, 10:29

I am a native English-speaker. No longer a student. Thanking God every day for the latter. {nm} dave3626 Apr 19, 10:44

In the usa would spanish not be more use,french was a pain in the **** to learn,and the only useful phrase blaze223 Apr 19, 11:59
