"German + French" or "French + Italian"

Hi, I'm a native Chinese. As the Chinese proverb goes, the journey of thousand miles is started by taking the first step (千里之行、始於足下), that's to say, deeds are better than empty words, everyone should manage to make his/her dreams come true with solid and practical action. At present, I don't think Japanese a mental burden for me to keep learning, in the meanwhile, I feel like picking either of language packages, one is the combination of German & French, the other is that of French & Italian, and none of these languages lacks related learning materials, but I've still hesitated about which package I had better pick considering all aspects, and attempted to give up the ideas of learning other languages on top of above-mentioned 2 packages. Would anybody kindly make a wise suggestion? "German + French"? or "French + Italian"?

Z.J.J, are you new here in this forum? Search for Xie, he is a Chinese learning German.

It is not recommended to learn two similar languages the same time, so I recommend to go for German + French. (It happens that German is my mother tongue, too, so I'm a bit biased.) If you go for German, don't use current learning material, but material from pre 1996, because the socalled ''Rechtschreibreform'' makes learning very hard.

Danke schön, I'm afraid that, in China, almost all learning materials have already been published with reformed spelling system (Rechtschreibreform). Ich liebe Deutsch!

Which is closer to standard German in all respects? Austrian German or Swiss German?

Austrian.

Z.J.J:
你怎么不学德国的德文吗。要是你会说德文的普通话大家能听懂你。
但是,要是你说别的方言,可能有人不懂你说的事。

再见!

你的中文也不算太好,最后一句是典型的欧美语法。呵呵~


可以改为:一看J.C.回帖的语法,便知他一定不是中国人。

对呀!这个网址的人都知道我是巴西人。要是我写的事不好,请你修改文章。
但是,有句谚语说“不入虎穴焉得虎子”。

拜拜!
