French vs German Which language is more important?

[Ruggery]

I plan to study these 2 languages ​​but I don't know which one to start first.

[TheMaestro]

Slightly French imo.

[tipirneni]

French has more second language speakers.

[Kamal900]

French since many countries in Africa speak it as their second language and the language for communication.

And if I don't plan to travel to Africa?

[Ruggery]

French has more second language speakers.

Yes, I know.

[Cristiano viejo]

Neither really but at least French is spoken in some parts of America and in many parts of Africa. Less is nothing.

[Kamal900]

And if I don't plan to travel to Africa?

Well, yeah, then it wouldn't have much relevance really. For me, it is important since I'm Gambian by nationality, and our Senegalese neighbors use French for their administration and as a lingua franca in the country.

[Latinus]

Start with French, since you're a native speaker of a Latin language...

And Belgium, Switzerland. The German is also spoken in many countries in Europe. I read it is the third most studied language in Europe.
