    Spanish because in high school it was either that or French. Although there were some French speaking towns in the area, I figured Spanish would be more useful to me since I planned on moving away to go to college. I got so into it I got a PhD in it.

      Yeah same, learned french for 4 years but couldn’t pick up a word. Spanish personally was just a more fun language and i have more investment in actually learning it.
