I'm learning Arabic right now and it's kind of fun/hard, and thought a thread/lounge like this for people studying a language would be nice to have on ATRL  What language/s are you learning? Maybe you can find a study partner here!

Currently headed to C1 French for my job  Listening is my biggest weakness, but reading comprehension and speaking are a bit of a slap.

What are y'alls best techniques for learning 

i've been using duolingo to try to learn french for over a year but it doesn't seem to be working 

Not so long ago started to learn polish 

I'm learning Japanese right now. The Kanjis were a pain at the beginning but I got through it. Now grammar is the real struggle though

movies with subtitles, finding social media accs that you like in your target language, talking with hot people that are fluent in your target lang, etc. 

I've been struggling with German for more than half a year now but I won't give up!

Yeah I have seen other language learners saying that wanting to give up (several times!) is part of it. You just have to promise yourself to always come back  

 

Last year I took a 2-month break due to work, and then had to slowly ease myself back into learning a little bit everyday 

I wanna learn Italian and Spanish. Italian because I would love to experience Italy as a non-tourist and Spanish because of the men and because It's such a widespread language. 

 

 

I have a degree in Foreign Languages and Business Communication; my German level is B2 I guess, although I still need to enrich my vocabulary. 

 

So these are the languages that I am willing to improve from now on: German, Spanish (I took Spanish classes in high school, and I know I can effortlessly achieve a C1 level), and Bulgarian (my parent's native language).

when i was started self-studying Japanese like over a decade ago, my head could not get around the idea of relative clauses and the sentence order. like how can you have a whole ass sentence in front of a single word.  

i guess it was so different from my native languages so it took time to wrap my head around it. but aside from that i thought grammar was the easiest part of Japanese.
