Are you learning another language? How far along are you?

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
I'm currently learning Catalan, doing Duolingo until I find some class (which there should be one in a couple of months). It's relatively easy for me since I already speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese and understand almost everything in 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.

Ich spreche sehr bisschen und nicht sehr gut.

Sehr schön, weiter so! (Deren Texte sind oft nur auf den ersten Blick oberflächlich, tatsächlich aber mehrdeutig)

カッコいい! 皆と同じように僕も日本語を選びました。Lemmyで人気のある言語らしいですね。
でも昔、僕の場合は最初に漢字で勉強し始めたので、予想に反して、読むことや理解することが難しくなってしまいました。昨年から、オンライン新聞とウィキの記事を読み始めたので、単語や文法がだんだん分かりやすくなってきました。一歩ずつ進んでいくんですね！
ところで、日本語を読んで練習するためにおすすめのウェブサイトがありますか？
I hope I didn't make too many mistakes. Writing is still a challenge!

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

From what I understand (Don't take what I say as correct as it may be wrong) but when 語(はな) hana, which is derived from 話す(はなす) hanasu which is the verb to speak, is paired with a nationality, with some exceptions of course like English which is 英語(えいご) eigo, it describes a language. So, pair 語(はな) hana with 日本(にほん) nihon, Japan in Japanese, then you get 日本語(にほんご) nihongo, meaning Japanese. Another example is French which is フランス語 (Furansugo).
And 勉強 is the Kanji for べんきょ(benkyo) which means study.
Just to add a small note—“勉強” is written as “べん きょう”(ben kyou) in hiragana.

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

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'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.
You could ask in [email protected]

Да, я изучаю русский язык, но не знаю какой у меня уровень, может быть где-то B1-B2. К сожалению мне не с кем говорить в последнее время
I am also trying to improve my English recently, mostly because I am pretty bad at speaking, and pronouncing stuff correctly.
I want to learn another language as well, maybe I will return to Czech (I was learning it for 1 month some time ago, and don't remember much, although I understand fairly amount because I am Polish).

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.
I think you could enjoy looking into toki pona.

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

I'm learning Python. Not bad, but I prefer C.
Rust is calling to me

Здравствуйте друг студент! I've been trying to learn it as well over the past 2-ish years, and it has proven to be a much slower progress than I had hoped for. How are you faring? And what methods do you use to learn?
Eh, as I said I haven’t been keeping up with it and I’m starting to forget stuff. I should get back into it. I did pretty good though when I was actively learning. I’d say even one of the best in the class that were learning it from scratch.
I went to Russian classes in uni for a bit over one year, and at home I did the exercises in the workbooks we had for the course + studying vocabulary with Anki. Basically the classic way to learn a language in school.

Same here. I learned un poco en escuela, but didn't pick up that much. I recently started trying Language
ThinkTransfer. It's kind of fast paced, but it goes over a lot of language concepts to help you translate outside of the classroom. It follows a teacher and student learning and the one I'm doing is 90 lessons. I got to take notes and everything.I've mostly been using frequency lists to restore the vocab I used to have and a dual translation of Don Quixote to expand further & learn more phrases. Once I have some good foundation I wanted to check out more Spanish speaking social media, news, movies/TV, etc to get more immersion

Здравствуйте все!
I've been actively trying to learn Russian for about two years now, and I'm still not very capable of having even simple conversations, due to the great difficulty of constructing sentences in my head. I guess I let the grammar get to me, with all the various prefixes and suffixes, so I choke. That, and the positioning of the words in a sentence. And also the concept of cases (all 7 of them). I know English and Norwegian from before, none of which has this slavic sentence logic/rules, so I find it incredibly difficult to remember/associate words/variations with their use.I use Duolingo, Babbel, and sometime Rocket Language, in addition to trying to expose myself to having to read/listen/reply to other native speakers, but man am I having a hard time. Any suggestions?
I would suggest going to the Library and seeing if they have a Russian language course, or finding one at a book store if you can afford it. I find having an actual structured course helps me in my learning, and it will usually include resources like audio.

I usually do use proper punctuation like the Japanese full stop "。",
but recently there's been a trend—especially among younger people—where it's sometimes avoided.
Some even call it “maru-hara” (short for “full stop harassment”), suggesting that ending a sentence with "。" can come off as cold or aggressive.
I guess that's why I ended up not using it myself, especially in casual contexts like social media.
あああーなるほど。冷たいあるいは最終的なものと思われるかもしれないです。けど、ドイツ語に慣れた私にとっては、文の終わりがわがところはどこしらないです。習うしました、ありがとう。
This kind of sentence is difficult, so I used some translator help

I knew it! I knew I was wrong but my stupid brain said otherwise, thanks
