>Which language is more useful in Europe?
Dutch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

German ultimately because there are more German consoomers in Europe. But both languages are pretty much useless compared to English.

German:
Germany 82 millions
Austria 8 millions
Switzerland 8 millions

If you also put together South Tyrole, some parts of Poland, Netherlands, Liechenstein, Luxembourg and other nations, you are coming up against almost 100 million speakers alone.

Having learned both I can say that both are beautiful and don’t listen to someone if he speaks with hatred towards a language.
Your answer depends on: are you more interested in culture/history, or in travel/business?
French is the language of many historical and cultural things, while German is the big one of present and future. You can’t go wrong with learning a language though, just find out which one inspires you more RIGHT now. Only you can declare what’s true

French if you are interested in culture
German if you want to find a job

German and it's not even close
that said I'm still learning French, German is fucking hideous

In Europe? German has the most native speakers and Germany is the most powerful economy... France has more learners... Since you said "in Europe", I will say German. But it's pretty close.

Dutch is a German dialect

>German is fucking hideous
Sorry that you think that way. Is it just unattractive to you or do you simply struggle with learning it? I get why people initially think it's a hideous language, but I'm actually quite fond of the variability it has. It's probably a bitch to learn...

I don't like German as a whole and that's also why I can't really learn it
I studied in in school like almost everyone else, I was doing decent but not great. My dad was forcing me to learn German and even signed me for additional classes but that just put me off more
Jetzt kann ich nur ein bisschen in Deutsch sagen, ich denke es ware cool Deutsch zu sprechen aber ich will den nicht lernen

please learn German thank u
but French is fine I guess, though I don‘t particularly like its non-native speakers for the most part

Hmm... I understand. That doesn't sound nice and I guess that doesn't make learning it better for you, it may be why you struggle with it.
I also didn't know "almost everyone" learns it in Poland... That's pretty surprising to me.

(I also thought about replying to you in German but I wasn't sure since you apparently aren't that comfortable with it)

English.

German as the second language is pretty much the default in schools, as far as I'm concerned
in middle school there were no other options and in high school we could also choose Russian or Spanish but most still chose German
I live in Silesia tho so maybe it's different in other parts of Poland

German, by far.

don’t listen to the other user; you‘re not too bad at it, Polanon
>Jetzt kann ich nur ein bisschen *auf Deutsch sagen, ich denke es *wäre cool Deutsch zu sprechen aber ich will *es nicht lernen.

I just didn't want to force him to speak German with me, especially when I reply with something more complex. I didn't want him to be forced to read German in order to answer because he obviously doesn't like the language. I didn't think he's shit at it.

Silesia... Based.
Well, I'm glad to hear it's a popular choice in Poland, or at least parts of it. Really, I didn't know. That's pretty cool.

English you fool.

Ah sorry, verstehe. Beim nächsten Mal dann bilingual, ja?
Oh sorry, I see. How about doing it bilingually next time then?
>Silesia
my granpa is from Sibasia. went there with him once; was nice.

He did not ask about English, you fucking imbecile. Kys.

官话

>German has the most native speakers

Russian and English.

For tourism? English.
French is a waste of time, and German is only good if you're in a German speaking country so why bother.
For work? English, and maybe either of the languages depending on which country you are.

idk idc i'm learning both

everyone already speaks English you retards

>Beim nächsten Mal dann bilingual, ja?
Vielleicht.

Virtually everyone has grandparents from Silesia... I have one, you have one... Like 10 people I know of from my class have one. It's sad to think about how so many people had to leave it behind. I went there with my grandpa as well and I also think it was nice. It was a strange feeling, standing in a place with relevance to your family you have no ties to yourself, a place that has changed countries since then.

It was about "Native speakers in Europe". I admit I forgot about Russia since they are on the edge of the continent and not in the EU, making them periphery. Germany has more native speakers than English in Europe, it's not even close.

>backpedaling this hard
English has: UK, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey, Gibraltar, Netherlands, Cyprus, Menorca as native language territories. German only has Germany and maybe Austria. GTFO.

I am so fucking tired of clueless Americans on this board.

>Norway more like no argument.
English wins again.

They say german is the philosophy's language

a thread died for this

English:
>UK
>Ireland
>Gibraltar
>Malta
Not even 70 million people.
German:
>Germany
>Austria
>Switzerland
>Liechenstein
>Luzembourg
>South Tyrole (North-Italy)
>Part of West Poland
>Parts of Czech
>Parts of Belgium
Over 100 mllion

And also, do you really believe English is the mother tongue in Netherlands?
