"I am lucky already to have Spanish as my first language. 
I’d love to speak Mandarin, but realistically, Italian is a language that I stand a good chance to learn to a good standard. "
Como estas? |

"Definitely Spanish. I tried to learn it for a couple of months using Duolingo, but I found it very repetitive and boring (the app not the language)
K"
Yeah I agree. I wasn't a fan of it. What helped me was listening to foreign movies |

I'd love to be bilingual and be able to speak many languages. For me Italian (as it's native to me on my dad's side) so I would like to learn it or the part where that family side comes from. Spanish. Russian and German. I love to be able to speak a language that isn't no longer used any more. |

"I'd like better German
German should be easy for English speakers I think. I lived in Berlin for 12 months and I picked up the language pretty easy "
I lived in France for 3yrs working for a German company (I can get by if I need to in German after studying it for 4yrs at school and working in Hamburg for 6 months) and all I picked up was how to order a big mac and fries...
When French police stopped me on a motorway check once they were quite upset that I wasn't interested in learning French. |

I tried that to learn German. I maybe shouldn't have used "Downfall", though. 😳

"Gotta be French. I used to be a fluent speaker but now mostly forgot. I’m sure a weekend with a French speaker would solve that issue  "
My ex was French and taught me the language. Forgot most now though |

"Duolingo is much better now that they have updated it.
They are paid options but Babbel and Jumpspeak are also very good and far more practical apps to use  "
Really? I'll check it out. Cheers mate |

Realistically, for work Romanian or Albanian would likely be most useful.
For travel, Spanish probably just based on the number of countries that speak it and some of the vocabulary translates into Portuguese I think |

I know the very basics of French, Spanish and Italian but sadly I'm not fluent in any of them. I was relatively fluent in Greek when we lived there 20 years ago, and I wish I continued to speak it...once you stop using it, it's harder to remember it. |

Was lucky enough to spend 6 years in paris in my 20s, I've become slightly rusty but comes back quickly when spending time there.
Reminiscent of my time there, what an amazing culture and country.
And damn the wine even better. |

I actually started learning Hindi some years ago I was always really in love with the language I wanted to learn it more than anything but it was super tough and I slowly gave up on it which is a shame as I'd of been quite good at it by now but still might be something I get back into one day. x |
