Each is a foreign language, they both use the pheonecian alphabet (abcedfg with accents like äéþð) and are not that similar to english, but from a person who knows spanish, I would say that spanish is easier due to the slight more similarity to english. Also spanish is much more usable is the US than german. If you go to the lower west Coast (LA, San Jose, San Francisco) more than 30% of the population speaks spanish so its very useful. If hyou are asking this for highschool classes, I would choose spanish
