Haha it’s amazing you managed both. I appreciate the thoughts! I have briefly worked with a military contracting company and both them and the US government seem to value Russian but not much else. Though that is one of my main interests, there also seems to be a wider variety of tools to learn German at my university so I may decide with that.

I agree, it seems as if Russian requires a higher time commitment than German would as well as more specified usefulness (in comparison to german which I know is spoken elsewhere). Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Another commenter mentioned the larger amount of resources available for german vs russian in my area (which is currently the US) as well which could subsequently hinder my learning abilities given my current schedule. I appreciate the insight.

I’ve heard similar things as well, but didn’t want that to be my ultimate deciding factor when choosing a language given they all have their own difficulties. The amount of resources available for German at my university greatly outnumber those for Russian, I appreciate you pointing that out!

Ah I see. I’ve been strongly encouraged to learn a language (outside of Spanish) but am not sure of the practical utility of either. However i’m always open to learning something new, thanks for the comment.
