Lower end of intermediate: Otali Cherokee
Could learn better if immersed: Zinacantan Tzotzil Maya
Could/want to learn more of: Qosqo Quechua, Nahuatl (Dialect[s] unknown)

I speak English, Spanish, and Italian. I am trying to learn classical Latin because when I was in grad school I didn’t pay attention because I didn’t need it. After that, I want to learn Old Norse and Ancient Greek.
To set the right example:
I speak dutch (native); english (fluent); german, spanish, portuguese, french, esperanto (good); italian (adequate); russian (slightly below adequate); mandarin chinese (basic); arabic (very poorly)
I’m learning mostly russian and chinese, for many years already, but not in any formal setting and with for many years already. I like reading books in the other languages to keep them up.
Hello…
Originally english, moja żona mówi po polsku, mes enfants apprends le français à l’école, en een beetje nederlands. 我学到的最有趣的语言是中文 . я выучил много песен на русском языке, pero para cantar la lengua más alegre es el espanõl, е o mais divertido de se ouvir é o português. Anyway music 🎶 is a universal language, το ίδιο και τα μαθηματικά. But I spent too many years juggling java, until most recently learning scala. Now a citizen of nowhere, wondering what’s next? I’d like to discuss future world pathways with people in Africa, or maybe India.I just found this sub and it’s really cool, I was thinking of making something similar but kinda forgot. Thanks for making the community!
I’m a native English speaker, know a bit of Spanish, and am studying Mandarin Chinese
Native English speaker. Spanish, conversational. Thai, conversational. O’lelo Hawaii, beginner.
I am also using very basic ASL in my classroom. I am an elementary school teacher and ASL is incredibly helpful in communicating with students without interrupting the classroom.
English is my first language and I am fluent in Vietnamese (I am vietnamese/canadian).
I am hoping to pick up Japanese and Korean next.
You mean more than one language can fit in your brain?! 🫠
English (native), Japanese & German (rookie?) I’ve been using Duolingo for about 4 years but am not that confident, and I have been thinking about trying Mandarin.
You may have to buy the necessary brain upgrade from your brain dealer, but generally multiple languages fit yeah 😉 It may get a bit confusing if they’re very similar languages though, although I also find that that may help in retention of vocabulary.
Native English here. Have some passing familiarity with Spanish from back in school. With a recent dive into ancient cultures and mythologies, now I’m beginning to learn Old English so I can one day hopefully read and understand Beowulf in the way in which it was originally written. I’d also like to learn Old Norse for a similar reason and dive through the eddas and sagas. Hebrew, Greek, and Latin are all on my target list, too.
