It's easier and more useful in today's world.
French = France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada and lots of Africa.
Spanish = Spain, most of central and South America, plus a sizable percentage of the US population.
It's the fastest growing language in the world :yes:.
I wish people would stop banging on about Chinese. The Chinese growth is unsustainable and not going to match Russian growth over the next 10-20 years. Mark my words.
Russian growth?
China's growth isn't sustainable but it will grow massively, as will / is India's. Russia's in a pretty poor state with people reluctant to invest for all sorts of reasons.
Incidentally, from what I can tell, money seems to be leaking out of Russia faster than you can say polonium-210, rather than being invested in it.
The Russian population is declining at a fast rate, the only other countries that speak Russian are smaller satelliate States. Then again, I'm not saying Mandarin Chinese is exploding either but it'll be far more useful in future years than Russian.
To OP, I would go for Spanish if you are thinking international, and French for european personally.
Although I would love to study Mandarin Chinese, i think it could be too hard to pick up alongside your degree.
