My university, my future and me learning new languages. I am studying two careers. One of them is modern languages. I have been studying English since I started basic school but now, at the university, I have to choose between French and German in order to be able to talk three languages: Spanish (my native language), English and French or German. I am not quite sure about which should I choose. Last summer I had been studying French, I think it is similar to Spanish and that is why it was easy for me. I liked it. My boyfriend is studying German but I think it is more difficult and it is not so helpful as French around the world. I still have time to think about it and to make my decision.

I know you didn't ask for advice, but I'd say go for German.  You'd learn French in a flash.  You can learn French on the side, outside of school.  :)

 

I put a few corrections below, but I also want to point out one thing.  You are advanced with your English writing, so maybe now is the time to try using contractions more.  It sounds more natural.  For instance, in your message, you could have used "I'm", "I've", "I'd", "it's", and "that's".  You only want to avoid a lot of contractions if you're writing for business reasons or for some other formal reason.
