English is a derivative of german, so yeah, they are pretty close^^
I would learn latin. It's important as a scientific language and the base to other latin based languages like french, spanish, portuguese, romanian and italian.
German is not latin based but it adopted a lot of latin words because of historic interaction and english in turn adopted latin words from german. So latin can also help to improve the understanding of these two languages.
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
