Now, I know you're either like, "Okay, you crazy bitch, just stick with Spanish" or "What are you thinking, taking 2 languages at once?" Haha. But really, just bear with me.

I'm an international relations major and everyone else in my classes can speak like 3 or 4 different languages and I feel kind of inadequate. haha.

Pros of French: It's a romance language like Spanish, so much of the vocabulary and grammar is similar. I already know how to conjugate the verbs in the present tense and a bunch of random vocabulary thanks to my trip to Quebec last summer. It's the language that every IR major who wants to be someone big someday seems obligated to know. It's useful, and not mention pretty.

Cons of French: I can hardly pronounce some things right in English. I already say things like "Excusez moi" in Spanish class accidentally, and I have a feeling that would only get worse.

Pros of Russian: It seems like such a random language to want to learn, but I swear I have good reasons. I'm absolutely fascinated by Russian culture and history and literature. And it's totally new and something different. I mean, everyone and their mom knows French and Spanish. Plus, the state department is apparently always bemoaning their lack of Russian speakers, and well, being the pragmatist I am, I see that as an opportunity.

Cons of Russian: Hello, new alphabet. And non-romance language. And hard-to-pronounce. And my 62 year old mother constantly asking "why the hell are you learning Russian?" Ah well.

What should I do?

We fall but our souls are flying.

I think Russian would be a really interesting language to learn, but more difficult than French in some ways.
I do think that you would find it easier to pronounce the Russian words, I can't pronounce many French words, but I don't find Bulgarian too challenging in that sense!

Don't you just love it when you get so excited you forget to breathe?
