Well, initially I was thinking I should go with Esperanto because it's supposed to be easier to learn other languages if you have learned Esperanto first. But then I was told by a friend German is a lot like English so try that. But I read online somewhere that German declensions are almost impossible to learn for a non-native. Spanish on the other hand is used so much in the US that it would be a benefit to know, but having to memorize the conjugations of irregular verbs makes me a little reticent about Spanish. Then a friend at Berkeley told me he took Dutch and learned it pretty fast. French on the other hand has so many words congruent with English it's amazing, but the pronunciation rules scare me a bit lol

Anybody have some statistics or anything to help solidify any of this information?
