Sharon,
German is the language of the Reformation! At least largely.
As for today, well, how would Spanish be practical?
It would be practical because there are a lot more Spanish speakers in the US (and the world, for that matter) than there are German speakers. Especially in my community. I encounter and interact with people whose native language is Spanish on at least a weekly basis. I know zero people who speak German. Even Dutch would be more practical as I do have connections with people in and from the Netherlands.
Also, I took several years' worth of Spanish classes in college, as opposed to one year of German, so it wouldn't take me as long to reach fluency in Spanish.
Do y'all think it's a good or bad idea to study more than one language at once? Would it be better to focus on one at a time?
