Except for my native language, I also speak English, Greek, and Italian. I also have some basic knowledge of French.
I wanted (and still do) to learn French and Spanish so badly, but never found the time and motivation to learn them systematically.
Probably French as I have French family and my father and brother speak it really well. It’s embarrassing to me that I never properly studied it outside of school.

I adore French language and French culture in general.

It is Spanish, my fiance speaks it, my favorite places in the world (Mexico & Costa Rica) speak it, and I just keep on making excuses not to learn it. I need to practice it more, and sometimes she doesn't have the patience with my poor speaking abilities lol.

You have huge motivation to learn it. 😂

I have the opposite problem. I took the time out to go for Italian and Thai classes. However, I recall almost nothing of what I have learnt haha

Maybe you need some practice.

Spanish. But I will, some day.

Me too!

I wanted to learn Spanish because of my love to Spanish songs. I still listen to Juanes and Ricky Martin more than my native singers. But, as it is, I never had time and motivation to learn it ..

I'm learning Portuguese. I'm a Spanish native speaker and I also speak English.
I noticed many Stackers interested in learning Spanish, if you are able to speak a little bit and want to have a conversation session with me we can organize it (35.000 SATs/ hr 1 student or 55.000 SATs/ hr 2 students)

Russian and Arabic

I don't like any of them.

Spanish. There's so many Spanish people, I think they're the second most spoken demographic behind English.

Agreed!

It is French.

Arabic. I have always been enamored with their culture.

It's funny that you mention that, these days I was just thinking about learning a new language and I want to learn Russian. I believe I have some ease with languages and I read somewhere that if you know already another one besides your native, it's easier to learn a third.
But Russia feels so far away and there are several native tribes not far from where I live and they still speak their language, but very few "whites" speak it. There's a lot of hippie-like tree-hugging people around here that pretend to follow their teachings and their way of life, but almost none bother to learn the language, which I believe is the first step to really get close to them.
Finding material to learn those languages is hard, but I'll let you guys know if ever start that journey.

wow it's admirable that you can speak 3 or more languages... my native language is Spanish and the truth is I do well in English but I have never mastered it. I was always attracted to Portuguese and Italian, but I have only studied very little, I only know a few words
reply
What is your native language?
Because of your knowledge of Italian you can learn French and Spanish relatively quickly
