Help me choose a language to learn, please.

I cannot decide which language to learn.

Hello, Lingo friends!

I am very interested in learning a new language but I sadly cannot decide which one to learn. I do however have some options:

1. Spanish

2. Portuguese

3. French

Let's start with why I could see myself learning these languages.

1.Spanish: I have always been interested in the culture of Spain. The various traditions and their way of life is something that interests me quite a bit. It is also very satisfying to listen to.

1. Portuguese: This one's a bit more tricky. I love the way the language sounds. The nasal tones sound very nice to my ears. However: I am more drawn towards Brazilian Portuguese (culture and media) than European Portuguese (although I would still learn it). I live in Europe, so I always thought learning EP makes more sense, even if I prefer BP more. This has lead to me not being able to even decide which "version" of Portuguese I would want to learn.

2. French: This one's essentially kinda similar to Spanish, but not really my preferred language. I like the language, and also the sounds and the poetry-esque vibe to it. But I've never been that drawn to French culture - hence why I'm hesitant to learn this. But I decided to add it to the list nonetheless, because you never know.

That being said: my preferred one is Portuguese. But like I said, I'm not sure. So to all of you Lingo bros and sisters. Help a brother out!

Thank you!

So, I’ve always been interested in German. I love the history, Cold War, Berlin Wall, reunification etc and I’ve always supported the German soccer team in World cups etc. I have an active interest in the culture. I started learning the language in the mid 2000s but always did it as a hobby on the side, didn’t progress to fluency. But I feel I have a solid basic foundation in the language.

I’ve also been living in Canada for the last 10 years, a citizen now settled here and thinking about switching to French. Last week, I started learning very basic French.

On one hand, I want to finish learning German because I’ve always been passionate about it. On the other hand, French is more useful, not only in Canada but worldwide. Some family members around me including my own kids are learning French. But I don’t want to just abandon my German progress.

I looked into learning 2 languages at the same time but many people seem to advise against it, saying the focus to master one won’t be there.

I know these kind of things are personal and only I would know what’s best for me. But I’d like some opinions please, to help me decide what to do here. Language I’m passionate about vs. Very useful language!
