German
German is the most widely spoken language in Europe.
More people speak German as their native language than any other language in Europe. It's no wonder, since Germany's 83 million inhabitants make it the most populous European nation. But not only the residents of Germany speak German. It is also an official language of Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. And it is the native language of a significant portion of the population in northern Italy, eastern Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, eastern France, parts of Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Romania, as well as in other parts of Europe.
While learning German can connect you to 120 million native speakers around the globe, remember that many people also learn German as a second language. IT IS THE 3RD MOST POPULAR FOREIGN LANGUAGE TAUGHT WORLDWIDE AND THE SECOND MOST POPULAR IN EUROPE AND JAPAN, AFTER ENGLISH.
French
While any language will be useful for some jobs or for some regions, French is the only foreign language that can be useful throughout the world as well as in the United States. FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IS THE SECOND MOST FREQUENTLY TAUGHT LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD AFTER ENGLISH.
The International Organization of Francophonie has 51 member states and governments. Of these, 28 countries have French as an official language. French is the only language other than English spoken on five continents. French and English are the only two global languages.
When deciding on a foreign language for work or school, consider that French is the language that will give you the most choices later on in your studies or your career.
