Should I learn Spanish or French? What has better literature, what has better music, and what place is better to visit and take trips to?
Should I learn Spanish or French? What has better literature, what has better music...
>Should I learn Spanish or French?
Spanish
so you know what your maid and gardener are plotting against you at your back
I don't really care about South America, and I don't have a maid or gardener.
I know both languages and it's tough to say which one should you learn, specially when both have rich literature. I would probably be inclined to learn Spanish because there is a lot of variety you can find in Latino America and Spain.
>I don't have a maid or gardener
haha, poorfag
>What has better literature
France, by far
>what has better music
Nowadays probably Spain and co.
>what place is better to visit and take trips to
that's a tie I think
it really depends on what you're planning to do with it, French is useful in luxury businesses, but Spanish is more useful in general in the Americas.
I am actually considering going to school to get an MBA and try and get into business.
mind you France has a lot of colonies in the Caribbean and Canada
but OP's excuse
>What has better literature
let's admit here and now something: OP is not going to read shit
Go for French then. They're both basic and common, but elitist chaps always love a good French.
>mind you France has a lot of colonies in the Caribbean and Canada
French is pretty much irrelevant in North America though, whereas Spain is quite important in the south-west USA
I come from /lit/, My favorite author is Dumas, I would love to read him and Hugo in French. I am absolutely going to read shit.
French, Spaniah will only work for you if you're hiding from some governments and decide to live in south America
France it is then
well you can't read Don Quijote or El Sentimiento Trágico De La Vida without knowing colloquial spanish. dunno about french books
>better literature
French, although Spanish is no slouch
>better music
Spanish, assuming you're talking about pop music
>better to visit
French, because Spanish gives you the opportunity to visit a ton of countries but they're mostly brown reggaeton shitholes
Hint: once you learned French, it's easy to learn Spanish and vice versa, as these languages share like 70% or 80% of their root words
>Hugo in French
Be ready to be blown away by Hugo's poetry, which is completely ignored by the English-speaking world (yet it's the best part of Hugo's works)
You should learn spanish for the sole reason of understanding when uncultured illegals talk shit in front of you.
>implying it's not the Americans talking shit to them
>What has better literature
Better ? Spain obvs
More famous? Fr*nce
You don't seriously believe that, do you?
What is some famous Spanish literature besides Cervantes? He's the only one I'm familiar with
Lope de Vega
Miguel de Unamuno
i like Vicente Aleixandre but he's more a poet
speaking of poets there's Federico García Lorca
>Borges
>Cortázar
>Vargas Llosa
>Neruda
>Juan Rulfo
>García Márquez
>Gabriela Mistral
>Horacio Quiroga
>Quevedo
>Góngora
>Lope de Vega
>Calderón de la Barca
>Cervantes
>Onetti
>Octavio Paz
>Sábato
French, to read their poetry
Ignacio Altamirano and Manuel Payno were my favorite mexican writers. Their style is raw and describes the shit commoners had to put up during their time.
I challenge a Frenchie to name one important French language author from outside of France.
>one
It would be a challenge if you said 50, but one? Seriously?
Rousseau
for
Who are they?
>Spanish literature
>posts latinamerican writers
well at least posted some spaniards
pretty sure Mali and Senegal have some wonderful authors we haven't heard about yet
Lorca
Machado
Juan Ramón Jimenez
Miguel Hernández
Martí
Rubén Darío
Xavier Villaurrutia
José Gorostiza
Juana Inés de la Cruz
San Juan de la Cruz
Salomón de la Selva
Santa Teresa de Ávila
Salvador Elizondo
Francisco Tario
Renato Leduc
Mariano Azuela
Off the top of my head:
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Samuel Beckett, Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Marco Polo, Aimé Césaire
Imagine wanting to read a word about what some nignog in Malie or Senegal has to say
Didn't Beckett write in English though?
>Literature
French
>Music
Probably Spanish, but if you're into rap go French
>better to visit
Spanish
Beckett wrote a lot of his works in French. Waiting for Godot was first written and published in French, for example.
Just learn both, don't be lazy
Same goes for beaners tbf
Very cool, I didn't know that.
Yeah, I couldn't care less about what some backwater South American or Mexican has to say.
Voltaire, Céline, Hugo, Rimbaud, Proust, Balzac, Albert Camus, Baudelaire, Saint-Exupéry, Flaubert, Montaigne, Dumas, Jules Verne, Stendhal, Sade, Rousseau, Tocqueville, Sartre, Molière, etc.
That's just for the "famous abroad" category, and the variety is already amazing compared to Spanish literature.
well, we won't know unless we try, will we?

If you can't answer that yourself go learn French, we don't want people who learn languages for the Xbox Achievements over here.
>from outside of France
they're all France-born
He asked for non-French French-language writers, you misunderstood
Fuck the French. French is basically as useful as German. Spanish is a no-brainer for an American, plus it's easier than French.
The Modern Man should know English, Spanish, working Russian or Mandarin, and a hobby language like French
Spanish for practicality, French for music and literature.
>plus it's easier
no it ain't
youtube.com
It is. Spanish is much more consistent compared to French, which has a lot of exceptions just because "well it sounds nice lol"
italian and portuguese are even more consistent than them both
but that doesn't make romance languages any easier for a brit-speaking to compare and learn. especially the pronunciation
>two skinny-fat guys didn't realize different regions use different vocab
French has picky grammar and sounds gay
>which has a lot of exceptions just because "well it sounds nice lol"
Aren't most exceptions because of this anyway?
Example, in Spanish Agua is a femenine noun, so its adjectives are in femenine form. But its article it's in masculine form because "La Agua" sounds bad to the ear -it would be a French like pronunciation: "L'agua"-, therefore the proper form is El Agua
wwow that's really stupid cringe language
Your language doesn't even use the present progressive
Spanish pronounces its words, French pronounces 2/3s of a word in-order to larp as Latin
>sounds gay
can't argue with that, m9
Eh, we were comparing French and Spanish though. The only difficult part of Spanish is that it's the romance language that uses the subjunctive the most.
>Mon amie
Yes, but I'd say that exceptions are much more abundant in French, and even when the consistent form would sound ok, they still go that extra mile to make it sound more pretentious.
>Your language doesn't even use the present progressive
L'espagnol va déclinant.
Just because most people don't use it doesn't mean it doesn't exist
It's "mon ami" though, where did you get that?
Learn French
Yep, my mistake desu.
Important writers from outside of France: Rousseau, Joseph de Maistre, Ramuz, Simenon, Maeterlinck...?
Well, mon petit con, I did say "doesn't use", not "doesn't have"
I was referring to the fact that you do the same in French, as you use "mon" with femine nouns that begin with a vowel.
Where can I buy that bra in real life for my gf?
"spanish literature" is an inherently ambiguous term in English.
How is Russian more important than German or French lol? Just because it's >le big country on the map?
This thread is pointless as OP has already given a lot of reason why he personally prefer French.
This thread, then, was nothing than a excuse for him to find random people that support his decision because he's an insecure faggot.
>, French pronounces 2/3s of a word in-order to larp as Latin
What do you mean? That the R´mans slurred their words as well?
Dosto alone may be a reason. He basically taught Nietzsche philosophy
OP here, fuck off.The only thing i said was that I was interested in business, and an user said French for that. Also that I like Hugo. Other than that I have been objective and just listened to different opinions for either side
my bad then
whenever someone asks me to post "spanish music" i straight out think they were asking for this
youtube.com
if they wanted this youtube.com
should had asked for "chilean" or "latinamerican" music
The BC on her hat stands for black cock
>What has better literature, what has better music, and what place is better to visit and take trips to?
Both
>once you learned French, it's easy to learn Spanish and vice versa
This
t. nosotros/vosotros, doesn't have different words for "in", "on" and "at" but prides himself on having two redundant words for "be", first person singular present form of be is literally SOY
well we all know that he will learn neither, he just created a thread about that and that's all. you can see that on /lang/ all the time.
French has high class culture, spannish has gangs and cartels.
>He basically taught Nietzsche philosophy
Well memed, but 'no', as Nietzsche did read Dostoevsky for the first time in 1886, and most of Nietzsche's works were already written at that time
>t. says "I am gone to the library yesterday"
Take it easy, incelino freakerino. If you want to learn French, we support you.
ONIONS EL PARAGUAYO
ahaha greetings to /sp/artans
BVLL COCK
Spanish is not easier than French.
About the same. Subjunctive is a killer in both but I think it is used more often in Spanish and they have two subjunctive verb forms whereas subj-2 is dead in French I think.
>projecting your own laziness onto other's posts
I should say, they want to keep their Roman looking words while keeping their Celtic-Germanic sound
Hilarious
We do that too.
>Fui a la biblioteca ayer
It honestly feels like someone is teeling me what happened 300 years ago
Both languages are similar enough. Learn both.
The Subjunctive takes practice, but French has a lot of exceptions that need to be learned. Spanish is more consistent when using it
This
Apparently the Russians are big enough to be messing with Western elections.

>It honestly feels like someone is teeling me what happened 300 years ago
Are you a Spaniard? Because it's common knowledge that Spaniards speak like French when it comes to the past and almost always us haber + perfecto.
You do know there's a small nuance betweeb Fui and He ido right? Compare to I went and I have gone
Who cares about simplicity, you can't be stupid enough to cholse a language to learn based on its difficulty, oh wait, you're american, you probably do
English is guilty of this as well, see: the plural of Bacterium is Bacteria, as if you were speaking Latin. While Spanish kept the plural form as the singular and just adds an -s- at the end to form the plural: Bacteria/s
>À, dans, sur, je suis
>En, en, en, soy
but you chose english because it is the easiest, fag. what other languages do you speak except for arabic of course which your mother tongue?
Pretty sure "sur" would be "sobre"
Fair enought, but sur it's sobre
That wasn't me, OP. I don't care about difficulty. That's a meme anyway. If you like something and enjoy learning it then difficulty doesn't matter
What does that have to do with me lmao, you're the one asking for advises from strangers to learn a language for Fuck sake you beta cuck lmao
