Psychology, French or German as a minor in college?

[INFJ]

I'm new to uni, and will be majoring in English Language and Literature. I'm thinking about declaring one minor. My secondary school (=high school) teacher recommended declaring an european language as a minor, but I myself also have a passion for psychology. I also believe that (although I dont know how true it could be) psychology, being more scientific, actually balances and complements the more emotional aspect of literature.

I have neither learnt German nor French. What are the cultural differences, or if any one of languages complements the English language/literture better?

Now I'm also thinking being an INFJ, whether any one of the three fields will click with me better.

Not to disappoint you, but if you want to go in deep depth into these things like I do, you might have to take the Ph. D route, you might find something direct in those majors though.

I myself LOVE science, and I could possibly see myself going into biological anthropology, or study the origins of language. I think linguistics might be better because language fascinates me, possibly the developmental aspect of the field. French has easier grammar, but difficult shouldn't be the deciding factor. Just do as much soul searching as possible, google is your friend. :laughing:

I'm learning mandarin and latin and I'm only in high school. :proud:

My advice to you is to consider the academia path as in your directly involved in the topic and might get to do fun stuff. If you like langauge and psychology linguistics might be good.
