huge difference between learning Latin-derived languages and Germanic/Norse ones.
Trying to learn German has stretched my brain in a way learning French, Spanish and Italian didn't-once you get French down Spanish is really easy too.
I think people probably have their own natural inclinations to either, I definitely prefer speaking French and to be honest the culture is more warm/chatty than Germany which is quite distant and formal by comparison.
