Language Learning / Bilingual / Polyglot Thread

[war has changed]

Which tongues? My favourite ones are French and Ancient Greek.

English - since it's the only one I'm passably good at besides my native tongue - and Japanese, since it's been a rollercoaster to learn it.
Would really like to learn Russian as well though.

Reading Korean, Japanese, Filipino, and Traditional Chinese.

Though, I'm not a fan of Bopomofo, I prefer Pinyin over that archaic system.

Sometimes, when I read online messages from someone whose nationality I know, I read his content with a thick accent in my mind.

Is that racist?

I always find it interesting to know what languages other people speak, their level of proficiency, and if a language isn't their first language, why did they choose to learn that language? For anyone who picked up a language outside of school or family settings, how long did it take you to learn it and what tools did you use to learn?

Let's start off with me: I speak English and Russian fluently, and I'm a native speaker in both languages.

English is my first language, learned enough Spanish in school to listen in on conversations in Spanish and have a general idea of what they are discussing. I've learned a little Swedish and a little German on Duolingo but didn't have anyone to practice speaking with so I don't remember most of it. I learned enough Bosnian to have full-on conversations and still remember some of it. Trying to learn Russian currently. My goal is to be fluent in three other languages in my lifetime.
