Would "French+German" classes be the best ones in

^I mean even similar languages wouldn't be much of a deal...

Yeah, I found many old friends in French when I can see Ich habe Hunger = J'ai ??faim?? And loads of words I found in English and German were actually latinate.

I think you should learn French+Italian.

Yes, for prestige French or Italian, but for the other things English.
