I need reasons to convince my mom that I should take German instead of Spanish next year.

Does your mum know it's your choice what language you wanna learn? Just tell her! 'Mum I want to do German classes instead of Spanish because I enjoy and like it better.' Then throw in any of the above for good measure! :3

hmm im with your mom on this one tbh- way more people in the world speak spanish than german. i am german and all but really its a pointless language.
esp. in the states spanish is going to get you a lot further than german?
spanish is easier to learn, it sounds pretty, you could go to spain or south america for a language program, latino men are hot ..sorry i cant think of a "pro" german argument.
im a really bad german *hangs head in shame*

German is a great language =)

I'm not sure if you want to carry on your further study overseas when you're in college,but i think many German universities could provide the world's first-class,most advanced courses and programmes for practical skills and also in my country there seems more people choose German as their second or third language than Spanish,because many of us want to further our advanced study in Deutschland.

German is awesome. One because it is in Europe and Europe is awsome. Two the language is so easy to learn because most of the word sound like the english version.

well, i am in german 3 right now and it is alot of fun. see, my school has an exchange program. so we get to learn alot about their culture along with the language. tell your mom that it's more of a challenge. and it is. spanish may be easier to learn than german. but don't you want a challenge. and maybe one day your german speaking skills will get you very far.

german is easier (in my eyes) the numbers are super easy to learn too!

cuz bill kaulitz is germen lol jk but becuz its actually relly close to english.

because Germany is better than Mexico

Because Spanish boyfriends are cheaters and make you pregnant before you turn 21 :P (kidding ;) But most of them actually are)
No seriously just tell her that you'd like to learn German. Almost everybody does Spanish and if you learn German and do it well that can be a bonus in some jobs. There's plenty who can speak Spanish but then you can speak German. Germany is a great country and so are Austria & Switzerland and there are a lot of interesting historic things to learn about the countries. It always helps to do the thing that less people do cause it's what makes you more valuable at work one day.

German is the language of engineering. At least, that's my brothers argument. But he got stuck with spanish anyway, sooooooooo

There are alot of German companies that are doing more with U.S. companies these days. More Americans are being sent to Germany and Germans sent here. Most people that are spanish speaking are being taught some level of English.

well i do german and my german teacher said that german is alot easer than spanish so tell your mum that .

I like both languages, Spanish and German.

It's your choice my friend, you can't let your mother force you to take Spanish if you don't want to. Besides, it's not hard to speak German, since many English words are actually derived from German ones. Such examples include Nein, which was shortened to "Nay", then became "No". As well as gute, nacht, morgen, heil, mein, and many others. :) Just make your choice.
