Debate of French vs Spanish

Well my dad, stepmother, sister, and I were having a debate on whether I should change my class from French to Spanish. I said that its easier for me to take French because its easier for me to learn it. Most of the words are just like the English version. They just are pronounced totally different. I am easier to me. I think I should not change to Spanish. But if I do then I could have my brother-in-law help me with Spanish. But I only see him on the weekend.
