Are you learning another language? How far along are you?
-
はい、私は日本語勉強します。(Yes, I'm studying Japanese.) I've been doing it for the past year but not consistently. I can say and understand basic phrases but I'm far from being able to hold a conversation.
Japanese is a language I have on the burner to learn. I have had a full course on it for years but never got around to getting beyond basic greetings.
After I am done learning Greek, I am going to refresh and learn more French, and then Japanese is next because I love Anime and Manga and want to watch/read it as it should be.

That's cool being to speak and understand multiple languages. I started learning it because I think it sounds neat when people speak it. Plus, I want to go there one day for a visit and I don't want to be a typical 外人 (Foreigner) haha

Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.
I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to "how are you" and how to say "I am still learning Greek can we speak English". haha
Ullyfay uentflay.

2,337 days in on learning German. My goal is to understand all of the band Rammstein's library of work without needing a translator.

What made you decide to learn Portuguese?
Portugal is a lovely country and I've decided to go visiting it a lot in my life. I feel more comfortable abroad if I at least kind of speak the language. English and German are no issue for me, French goes in a pinch so I'm pretty comfortable in western Europe but I'd like to be more comfortable with the Mediterranean languages. In due time I might try learning Italian as well.

That's a pretty long streak
I'm on day 460 learning Italian.

Tried learning Spanish in school but I never really had a reason to stick with it or keep going. Recently started relearning some vocab and grammar and phrases because there are places I'd like to visit that would be much easier with even just some basic phrases and books I'd like to read in the author's original words and phrases.

What got you interested in Mandarin?
Honestly I love language and languages in general, so I rarely need an excuse to go study one haha.
That said, Mandarin Chinese was attractive to me for a few reasons.
Firstly, a LOT of people in this world speak it, so it has high utility potential and may even come in handy for me professionally.
Secondly, I think the culture and history of China is interesting and that my default lens for it is likely heavily biased. I’ve always found that reading source material and opposing positions or narratives has helped me understand the truth of a matter with more (albeit still imperfect) clarity.

こんにちは！日本語を勉強しています！
I'm 90 days into learning Japanese. Most of that has been learning kana and I'm now working on kanji and grammar. It's very different from English but I really like the way information is conveyed. I'm struggling with grammar stuff right now pretty bad, particularly conjugation, but it'll click eventually. Also the lack of spaces is definitely something to get used to.

I'm learning Python. Not bad, but I prefer C.

I just gave up Duolingo at 1770 days for French which hurt to do. I was mostly just maintaining a streak at this point and with the news of them using AI to replace their employees (even if they retracted it), I decided to quit.
I’ve switched to Babbel now which has been really good so far

I have no experience in C, but I do like Python.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'm learning Japanese. On and off for years, but mainly the last couple. I'm still only at the advanced beginner stage, trying to work on my Kanji, reading, and listening.
Also learning Spanish, but I feel like I'm in a better spot with it. I took classes in school and have a decent foundation, just need way more practice. It's on the backburner since I'd rather build on my Japanese.
For fans of this thread/topic, check out [email protected] . They have a weekly thread for progress and a few active folks. Lemmy also has more specific language learning communities that could stand to be more active.

I've been doing a few Duolingo lessons a day in Japanese for a couple years now. At the rate I'm going it'll be a decade before I'm even slightly able to understand the language, but I don't mind - it's already been well over a decade since I first tried to learn it, so as long as this pace is sustainable, I'll still be a lot further along than if I'd tried too hard, gotten burned out, and quit for a decade again.

I’ve been learning Dutch, since the Netherlands seems like a nice place to go if I ever have to flee the US. Thinking about joining some Dutch communities here so I can get more “natural” language exposure.

I have pretty much been studying a language every day for the past 4 years, 3 years with Japanese and now 1 year with German.

I started learning Russian 2 and a half years ago now maybe, mostly in uni classes. Haven’t done anything in a while though. I generally think slavic languages are cool and would like to learn another actually.
Я начинала учить русский может быть 2 с половиной года назад, в основном в универе, но ничего не делала за учение в последнее время. В общем я думаю, что славянские языки круто и действительно хочу бы учить другую.

Und wie weit bist du mit deinem Deutsch?
