I MAY be adding Bengali and Tamil to the "South Asia" category.

I suck at learning languages, but I always wanted to be fluent in Spanish for work purposes, even though I hate Spanish and everything about how it sounds. I know intermediate Spanish, but am not fluent and conversational.

And living in South Korea, I've been slowly trying to learn Korean, but it's literally the second hardest language to learn in the world, behind Mandarin Chinese, and harder than both Arabic and Japanese. It takes 88 weeks of studying to learn Korean and I've barely been in this country for two years and certainly didn't have time to take Korean classes everyday with the pandemic.

I just suck at learning languages. I had to get a Master's degree just to master English.

[WhiteSteve]

Young Indiana Jones over here, haha.

Really, I’d just like to learn Spanish for functional purposes. That’s the only other language I encounter regularly enough to bother learning. I don’t really have the desire to learn languages “for fun” that you seem to, haha, I am but a humble dumbass😂

[jennifer_bloom]

I love to learn new languages, my chosen would be Hebrew, Arabic, Mandarin (Writing), Spanish, Yiddish, French, Tamil, Swahili, Hawaiian, Aboriginal, Portuguese. I don’t have time for it cause I’m not a genius but that’s what I would do if I I had infinite time.

[Blackcosmo]

Japanese. I'm obsessed with the Japanese culture and language.

[Physics-Man]

How did you become obsessed with it, may I ask? What caused it?

I'm obsessed with East Asian Cultures, in general.

[Blackcosmo]

I am a big fan of anime and I just love the way they speak in Japanese. It's such a beautiful language. Their clothes and their culture is also so beautiful.

[Physics-Man]

May I ask what's your ethnicity or race? Such as Italian or Asian?

[Blackcosmo]

I won't reveal my ethnicity.

[Physics-Man]

Here is what I used to learn Japanese.

For vocabulary and Kanji:
https://www.wanikani.com/

For grammar:
https://guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar

You can also purchase the book on Amazon for about US $20:

Google Translate is excellent for finding translations of words in order to increase your vocabulary. I DO NOT recommend it for sentence translation, however.
I recommend learning Hiragana and Katakana first before you do anything else. Beware that you need slightly over 2,000 Kanji to be able to read a newspaper or magazine.

Also, continue watching Anime with subtitles, read Manga in Kana script, and listen to J-Pop; it's a great form of practice!

I began learning the language in 2007, and lasted several years studying it. It was my third language, and the one which I had to actually put effort into studying. I occasionally review grammar and vocabulary when I get rusty in some areas. I'll probably do a thorough review of it after I study several other languages.

[Blackcosmo]

Thank you so much for the references!

[Physics-Man]

Sure thing! If you have any questions about Japanese or the references, please let me know.

[bolverk]

I'd like to increase my knowledge of Welsh, Yiddish and Spanish to a conversational level, welsh so when I visit my family on my paternal grand fathers, side the same for my paternal grand mothers, and Spanish because its Americas de-facto second language and its the other country until recently that I visit the most.

[Texaskid1]

I have been learning French for some years now and I am happy to say I can now have a decent conversation in French and I can now understand most of what is said in news casts and online podcasts.

The Grammer is tricky though and there are still many words I do not understand but it it is a slow process.

As far as learning another language maybe Dutch or Russian. Not sure yet.

[Hürrem]

-Aramaic. I want to learn that is said to be Jesus' spoken language.
-Sanskrit. The oldest language of the world.
-Korean. I am a big fan of Korean movies but I could not speak the language so I also want to learn this.

[Snsl153]

Hungarian, because my father was Hungarian and my mother, although Austrian, understood the language as well.
Ah, I see the word "koszonom" in your image there. :) That means "thank you".

[Stoner710]

More Japanese I know enough to get around get a date that kinda stuff but not fluent

[Physics-Man]

どこで日本語は勉強してた？何をしかた？教科書とか？

[Physics-Man]

Oops, I meant to say: "何を使い方?".

[Stoner710]

私は高校と大学で日本語を勉強しています 日本語、話し言葉を試してみてください：パート1

[Physics-Man]

その教科書が聞こえたと思う。全部、自分で勉強してた。フリー文法ガイドとかウェブサイトとかを使った。おすすめには、BlackCosmoに僕の返事を見てね。

[Stoner710]

そうです、日本人学習者のためのナルトのように、あなたが学ぼうとしている言語でテレビ番組を見ることもお勧めします

[NathanDavis]

I would like to study English... you know, properly

[Avicenna]

I really would benefit most from working on Portuguese again, but Vietnamese also would be useful. You’ve made a great choice- Vietnam is a country that’s on the rise as well as a fascinating place.

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

I know a little Japanese
Much less Russian
A little ASL
Much more Spanish
and mostly English.

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

PS I saw Oprigado and it reminded me I know a little Brazilian Portuguese.

[Red-Blaze]

Honestly all of them, and I suck with langrages
but my top right now
Japanice, Spanish, Itelean, klingon, Arabic, french, Yidish and German

[BCRanger10]

I would like to learn Latin, Polish, Russian, Italian, and French.

[BCRanger10]

Oh yes, and Hebrew and Greek.

[Exterminatore]

Start with Latin. I’m currently learning latin. I can understand most of what is said in Italian but cannot reply in Italian. Italian speakers can understand Latin for the most part but cannot reply in Latin.

Italian almost feels like a dumbed down version of Italian.

Anyway I say start with Latin, with that you get Latin and the ability to mostly understand Italian, but not speak it. It’s like a 2 for 1.

[Exterminatore]

Not to mention you’re Catholic and Latin is the official language of the Catholic Church.

You could read so many things written by people like Augustine of Hippo, or Thomas Aquanis in the original language the write in, not to mention understand all the traditional hymns in Latin.
