I've tried before to study these languages but kept flip-flopping between them in the span of a week. My indecisiveness kept driving me insane, & obviously still does.
To give some background, I am 17, I live in KSA, I speak Arabic & English (Mother Tongues). I'm not keen on traveling anywhere to study, I'm planning on solely self-studying in my room.
FRENCH
- I've taken French since Grade 1 - 10 in school, so I kinda have a head-start there.
- I think I have this strange attachment to the idea of learning & speaking French.
- There are a ton of products & restaurants with French cuisine. (not a real valid reason)
SPANISH
- Easy pronunciation
- From what I've heard, the Spanish grammar is extremely easy & similar to English.
- There are more & more TV shows in Spanish that are amazing. ( Narcos for e.g. )
- I really enjoy watching football.
My Motives
- I have a ton of spare time
- I feel like this will open up a whole new world of people to communicate with, cultures, paradigms etc.
- I like the idea of impressing the people around me, but I hope this last motive goes away ; It's an impure & terrible motive in my opinion.
- I feel this might come in handy when I go on vacation in the future with my family, or it'll help in terms of my future educational/occupational career.
There's one thought that keeps me up at night ( I overthink way too much ) . Even after I choose what language to go for, I will never be able to be emotionally attached to the language & grow a strong enough sense like with my English or Arabic. I'm not planning on making a career out of this like a tutor, rather I want to be as fluent as possible without having to study for 10 years to reach an intermediate level.
Thank you!
