Probably Spanish, since it's just more common than Chinese in my location, and apparently simpler to learn.

Spanish. If I wanted to learn an Asian language Japanese gets my 1st pick. Beautiful language and culture.If you don't speak a westerner learning an Asian language at an advanced age is nearly impossible. But if you were fluent in Chinese, other Asian languages have enough similarities that you could learn them more easily

My Vietnamese is getting better. Its a long, slow and hard process, but its far from impossible.Too difficult for most people though for sure. Learning spanish as an English speaker is infinitely easier

Learning Spanish is definitely easier, but I wouldnt say that learning an Asian language is too difficult for most westerners to be able to do it. Just too difficult for them to want to.
I think it's the writing system that people find difficult and not the speaking.
Chinese of course. Spanish is pretty simple to learn if youre in the US. Plenty of native speakers to learn from or community college classes to take. Chinese is not the same language family or character system.Yep. You could literally spend like 15 minutes a day on duolingo as an English speaker and probably learn well enough to communicate effectively in most situations within a month. Chinese... yeah... way more difficult and way more advantageous to be fluent in as an american
Easily Spanish, I have no desire to visit China and I know a bunch of people that speak Spanish (even some that only speak Spanish). Plus there are way more places you can go where Spanish would be useful. Chinese is so niche and useless, unless you already know Spanish or really wanna go to China I don't see why would you pick Chinese.
Chinese is so niche and uselessLol wow
Lol wow
You only need to know Chinese if you plan on doing business in China.Not true. Lots of Chinese people in America my dude. But you clearly don't realize what kind of job opportunities could become available to you being both fluent in mandarin and English. But also, on that note, what benefit is it to know Spanish outside of talking to some guy at the grocery store or if you wanna make friends with a non english speaker. But, as mentioned earlier, waaaay easier to learn enough Spanish as an English speaker to communicate effectively anyway
Chinese would definitely be more usefulUsefulness is relative.
Usefulness is relative.
Chinese has more speakers, but like 98% of them are confined to just China (well, Taiwan, too). So, if you have no plan to ever visit/interact with China, then the value of knowing the language is moot.
Spanish has the 2nd-highest amount of speakers, but spread out over way more countries, and many parts of the US. Meaning in a vacuum, especially for a US citizen, you're likely going to get more utility out of knowing Spanish.
I've known more people in the US who speak Vietnamese than Chinese.It's definitely in pockets depending on where you're at but chinese is far more widely spoken in the US than vietnamese. I believe korean is 2nd for Asian languages
Either is going to be super useful, but Chinese is gonna be especially useful coming up.
