I am about to study a degree in modern languages and i am wondering if it's worth studying both French and Spanish together? I have been studying Spanish for the past year now and say i am currently at around A2 level, my French is poor but i have previously studied it 10 years ago at school. I will be studying both languages at similar levels at the same time. My other option is to study Spanish along with English linguistics, however, i feel it would be more enjoyable and more beneficial for me to study 2 foreign languages.
Does anybody think this is going to be hard going? Advice please guys James 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I enjoy studying both French and Spanish concurrently. So if that is where your interest
lies, go for it! I find occasionally I'll mix up a conjunction during speech but that is all. The two languages complement each other nicely. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you feel like studying languages, then Spanish and French are good choices.

I don't think you'll have a problem with it.
I take both in high school and I'm perfectly alright with that. (: 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Goes to show what high school language classes do!
I'm not sure what you mean by "English linguistics", but if you have any opportunity to study any type of Linguistics, it's a must, in my opinion. It'd be like taking classes in driving pink cars and blue cars without even taking a mechanics course. If you're serious about cars, you take the mechanics course, even if it means you don't get to drive the purple pick-up truck. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I wouldn't recommend it as both French and Spanish are Romance languages. You can get confused by the similarity of words. I think you should acquire a B2-C1 level in one of them and then start the other, so you have a strong foundation in one and you don't mix them.
