damn my indecisive mind…

I’m stuck between choosing either Germanic Studies or French Studies for uni. I want to learn both languages but I can only choose one (cause of my course outline, etc.). For my other course I enrolled in last week I chose German. But then I thought it would be a good idea to do French because it’s widely spoken around the world and in a lot of countries/the UN, etc. etc. I chose French Studies for the course I enrolled in today. I also enjoy French cinema a lot more, but German just sounds incredibly awesome and angry all the time. French is also a bit easier to pick up. Now I’m just thinking I should do Chinese Studies, because I can’t speak Mandarin (I speak not-so-fluent Cantonese), and I can’t read/write Chinese. It would be helpful in the future, considering the Chinese are pretty much taking over the world. One of my uncles from my dad’s side of the family said he could teach me Mandarin. So maybe I should rule the Chinese Studies option out.

What do you think I should do?

And if you can speak either German and/or French, how difficult is it to learn/pick up?
