I’m learning Irish. My schedule is crazy busy, but I do a lot of driving for work so I listen to Irish speaking lessons. I also do this only while I’m on the road because my Irish boyfriend has no idea I’m doing this so I can speak Irish on our wedding day.

I can say things like where I’ve been yesterday, where I am today, where I’ll be tomorrow, what are you doing, what were you doing, it was great craic, I don’t know, I’d like a pint of Guinness, please.

I’ll probably get made fun of for speaking the Ulster dialect (his family is all Dublin), but my favourite instructor that I’ve found is from Belfast and at least I’ll be able to speak it. ☘️

I’ve been learning Russian for a few years, I’ve also started learning Serbian and Ukrainian a little bit.

I can speak Russian pretty decently, it’s my girlfriend’s first language so I’ve had a lot of regular practice with it, I don’t consider myself fluent at this point but I can hold conversations with native speakers without too much of an issue

With Ukrainian I can understand quite a bit but I haven’t had much practice speaking it with other people at all yet. I have the basic phrases memorized, things like привіт, будь ласка, доброго ранку, добрий вечір, дякую, як справи, etc. but I don’t think I could hold a conversation speaking only in Ukrainian. I’ve been studying it kind of off and on for a year or so, and I listen to some Ukrainian music fairly often

Serbian I’ve been struggling to learn, I’ve been working on it for about 5 months. I think learning Russian first made it weirdly harder since the sentences are structured fairly differently. When it’s written, I can understand quite a bit, but if someone walked up to me and just started speaking Serbian I’d be completely lost

Nederlands (Dutch), my native language is Portuguese and I also speak English.

“Hallo, ik ben Cally en ik spreek een beetje Nederlands.” probably translates to “Hello, I am Cally and I speak a bit of Dutch.”

I kinda suck at learning languages so I’m still at what I assume is A1 level, I think my pronunciation is ok, though. Idk how to speed up language learning but I have set my phone to Dutch and that kinda helps. For example, “Instellingen” means “Settings”

J’apprends le français, C’'est ma troisième langue. Il va ça va, et je suis A2 après ~8 mois, mais j’ai un amie qui m’aide aussi

I have been learning Polish on-and-off for a couple of years now.

I’ve been learning Japanese for a long time now. The funny thing is that I started at the wrong end by learning kanji first and then moving onto grammar and vocabulary in that order. Avoid what I did unless you want to be proficient at reading it without understanding it!

Although not all is lost, because I’m getting used to reading news and Wikipedia articles without much aid or effort anymore, and spoken Japanese is slowly getting easier. Understanding it is still proving to be a bitch from time to time but that’s on me!

Btw, does anyone know of great websites to read Japanese? I browse Gigazine.net quite a bit and many news outlets, but I’d like to mix it up and move away from politics and news in general. I’m still a bit shy about online forums, but maybe I should do that next.

I am learning German and I can read simple sentences with context, I still can’t understand it by listening

I’ve been learning Portuguese (Brazilian) off and on for a while. I’m mostly okay-ish at reading it, but it’s nearly impossible for me to understand it when spoken.

I just started taking Spanish classes. I had one year of Spanish in elementary school and I’m fluent in French, so it’s been pretty simple to understand Spanish but I need to keep working on speaking. I’ve also started watching Spanish language tv, to try to pick up more vocabulary.

Decided to take it to be able to speak with more people in my community, plus I love visiting Mexico and South America.

I’m learning English and a little bit of Czech (stopped a while ago because of my lazyness but want to start learning Czech again). I think I’m still speak badly in English but I understand it very good.

I’m from Ukraine btw

(Also does programming languages count? I love Rust)

Hmmm aku sedang belajar Bahasa Indonesia sekarang but I’m terrible at it.

I’m learning English. I think I can manage. I’m reading more and faster than most native speakers.

Meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch.

Am I learning a new language? No.
How far along am I? About halfway.

I’m learning Esperanto because everything I do has to be esoteric. I understand the fundamentals of the language and my pronunciation is perfect i’d say. I’ve been learning for a few months and I can read and write basic sentences. I also want to learn Spanish (mostly to flirt) but it’s hard to find the time. I’d also like to learn Indonesian, German and Afrikaans.

Edit: I’d also love to learn Polish but it’s so fucking hard.

Edit 2: Oh and Finnish. I really like languages and I get excited about them.
