Japanese, mainly because of the anime/manga I've been watching ever since I was a kid. Love the culture.
Chinese would also be very handy to know.

Right now I speak 4 languages fluently and am wondering which one to target next. Wink

Time is on our side, yes it is!
I speak three languages already. I was brought up speaking one language to my mother, one language at home and one in school. I can now say I fully understand them all, but can only speak and write fluently in two of them.
If I could learn another, I'd like to learn Chinese. Truth it's, that's unrealistic. So, I'd probably go for Spanish. It's relatively easy and quite similar to French.


I find that fascinating that you were able to learn 3 languages as a child.  At a time when a persons mind is ready to absorb so much information I'm wondering how hard it would be for me an adult.  I must admit you envy you and I hope you able to use your linguistic ability for many things in the future.

Learning spoken language is actually fairly easy, but when you try to learn Hiragana and Katakana it's like somebody just vomited a load of weird characters on the screen, even worse when it's kanji, I still haven't understood how you link up the characters to make the full words yet.

Any online tutorials/lessons I've found have done this typical thing of skipping over the part you really need Sad

I was just thinking the same thing myself.  The "characters"  looks so confusing to me and it would be nice to understand that also and things like calligraphy also intrigue me.

I already speak 3 languages. I want to learn to more french and chinese.  Smiley

Wow three huh, nice!  What languages do you speak if you don't mind me asking?  Also do you do alot of traveling or is it just a hobby of yours?  Last question, did you go to school to learn or another method?

French. I did it at school but forgot most of it and could never grasp the accent so I sounded quite stupid. I never really had the confidence to pull it off.

I'm currently torn between German and Russian; I've spent more time with German so far, also on Duolingo, but I really like Russian. Roll Eyes

Spanish, I find it great to listen to as well as being widely spoken and therefore very useful

The easiest language to learn are spanish and italian. You can pretty much learn these languages by yourself just fron online course. I always wanted to learn english on some higher level, basics seems simple enough and easy to understand but to know english on a master level is really not that simple at all.

First, I'd like to finish learning French since I started learning when I was in elementary. But I would like to study Italian, i think it's really useful and a really beautiful language.

I can speak three languages myself, but i'm still learning spanish whenever i have free time in my hands.
I found online spanish course to be a helpful resource there's a lot but currently i'm following them.

For me I've had an interest in Japanese, but I've also been interested in Russian and Spanish.

For the par I would like to learn German I guess as well because my heritage is German.

On a side note besides duolingo does anyone know of any good sites to learn enough to become somewhat fluent?

Hard to pick one but two that come to mind at the moment would be Spanish.  Another I'd think would be Japanese or maybe even French.  I wish I could learn 7 languages, that would be so awesome.
