When you decide to learn a language, you may find yourself in a situation where you want to learn two languages, but do not know to choose one over the other. 
I have come up with an educated solution to this problem by creating a table with properties of a language. For those who are deciding between Chinese (Zhōngwén) and German (Deutsch) you're in luck.

	Chinese	German	What is the better choice?

Language Group	Sino-Tibetan	Germanic (along with English, Dutch, Swedish and other languages)	German
Writing System	No relationship to sound of the word. Made up of characters.	Very phonetic due to spelling reform. Nouns are written in capitals so you can recognise them easily, which speeds up reading.	German

Overall, it comes down to whether you want to travel or are on a business trip to Europe or Asia. If you want an easy language to read and write, learn German, if you want a language with easy grammar, learn Chinese. If you still can’t decide, you can always flip a coin.
