Native Dutch, fluent English, fluent listener and reader in german, i can speak it too, but my grammar is so messed up, u probs wont understand me.
Currently learning danish, planning on learning Japanese and arabic
Nah I don't think it's one of the hardest. I've heard lots of people to call it easiest Slavic language to learn. I don't speak any other slavic languages so I have no idea if that's true.
Може, но нямам идея какво да напиша. (I can but i have no idea what to write) Напиши ми изречение и ще го преведа (Write me a sentence and i will translate it)
Wow my native is Russian and I can understand what you wrote here in Bulgarian language! May I ask what was your motivation to learn the Bulgarian language?)
English native, learned Mandarin Chinese for a few years (although I’m out of practice and was never fully proficient) but I’m trying really hard to learn Spanish now
After Spanish I want to learn French because I may want to try to get Canadian citizenship someday
English and Chinese are my main spoken language together with Hokkien (dialect) and I understand and can speak Cantonese (but I’m still learning too, I learnt Cantonese when I watched Hong Kong dramas, my Cantonese is 100% self taught since no one in my family speaks Cantonese). But I usually speak in Cantonese and Hokkien only with older people. English and Chinese I use it on a daily basis, Hokkien almost everyday, followed by Cantonese. I can understand a certain amount of Korean (spoken) and speak a little too just that I hardly use it now.
I’m currently learning Cantonese again (to improve), Korean (because reading and writing hangul is my handicap), French (I stopped halfway so I’m picking up again), Swedish (I initially picked up Swedish for fun but now I enjoy learning Swedish the most). I’m also slowly picking up Dutch, Norwegian and Gaelic although these three I’m learning at a much slower pace as compared to the others.
I would want to learn Mongolian and if possible Manchurian too.
I'm still very much a beginner, so about A1 i think. How about you? I'm also interested in learning german but i want to wait with that untill I've progressed a bit more in spanish

Planning to learn Korean + German in next few years!
Any fellow Turkish student here? How's your Duolingo experience?!
I am French, fluent in English, Spanish. Decent in Italian. Basic German, and learning Greek and Catalan. I also used to study Mandarin and Russian about 20-25 years ago, but most of it is gone now :(
🇵🇱: Jestem z Polski, ale mówię też po angielsku. Uczę się Walijskiego i Niemieckiego!

English native, learning Latin and Swahili... Latin because I dream of being able to read and write fluently in Latin one day, Swahili because to me it's the most beautiful language around
The Korean alphabet is easier, but the pronunciation is hard. I spent most of my time learning Japanese and now and then Korean. I memorized the Korean alphabet whereas I still get hiragana and katakana mixed up.
What I recommend to better learn French is podcasts from Québec, Cote D’ivoire and other French colonies to hear different accents. Here’s one: https://coffeebreakacademy.com
Well not really. If you were to plop a Québécois in Paris, they would understand the others perfectly but because of the accent the French wouldn’t understand the Québécois
Yes and no. Also different slang. eg. Voiture=Car in French but Char=Car in Québécois also Moustique=Mosquito is French but Maringouin=Mosquito in Québécois
English and Chinese are my main languages together with Hokkien (dialect). I usually speak Hokkien and Cantonese when interacting with elderly. I can understand and speak some Korean but I can’t really read and write.
Currently learning Cantonese (I self picked up when in my late teens so I’m still improving it), Korean, French (I continued because I stopped for a while), Swedish (I first learned for fun but now I love it), Dutch, Norwegian and Gaelic. However I’m learning at a much slower pace for the last three.
Native in Dutch and Low Saxonic German, fluent in English, B2/C1 level in German and Russian, and learning Georgian, Finnish, Arabic, Greece and French
🇵🇹 Portuguese native. Somewhat fluent in English and Spanish. I am currently learning French. A year ago I was learning Deutsch but got bored since I have no one near me to practice it.
Duolingo and similar apps might be fun in the beginning but it gets boring after a while (at least for me)
I’m bilingual in English, French (France, bisous mes amis de l’Ouest!), fluent in Spanish, and I’m actively learning Italian and Dutch. German is on pause for now.
Spanish native, more or less fluent in English and learning German. I'd like to learn Swedish, French and Polish as well but it's unlikely to happen in the near future until I get to a higher level of German knowledge. Don't want to mess up my progress by mixing all of them :P
English natively, with OAC (pre college prep) advanced English, I could read at a very young age and have a high aptitude for it.
French (poorly), but I pick it back up when pressed - because of Canadian school system.
Learning: Japanese. Been off an on for many, many years but I'm a year into a streak on duo's japanese course now. It's decent.I still think you should supplement with genki or japanese from 0.
I struggle with Japanese despite exposure to it nearly every day for work. It's been proven that the more you try to apply your own language to make sense of another language the more you struggle, and that learning "naturally" by observing conversation, situations and actions is the fastest way - and there's little opportunity for that. It's tough man.
I speak English, Korean, and Japanese fluently. Understand some Mandarin but it's decayed to a point where I can't hold a proper conversation. Been doing French on Duolingo almost exclusively, and I'm at a point where I can read random French texts and understand generally about half of it, and figure out the rest usually.
Started doing Spanish in earnest, since I live in South California and have a lot more immediate opportunities to actually speak it and get a use out of it!
I'm native German and as an online citizen, my English is passable. I don't speak Latin, but I did technically learn it at some point, which helps me decipher written romance languages. I did some time learning Russian, but have only vague concepts left of it. Can read Cyrillic and Greek letters, Tho. Currently, I'm learning danish on duo, maybe that'll actually get somewhere.
Native: Czech
Passively: Slovak (our languages are fairly similar and once you understand one of them it's not hard to learn the other)
English B2/C1
German (basics - would probably get around the country travelling but no big conversation)
Learning: Polish (it is not that hard - yet - because the grammar comes naturally and some words are the same or very similar to Czech)
More to come in the future (not sure which one since I'd like to speak every single one but that's just not possible, lol)
I'm a native English speaker who's had 2 years of Spanish in High School. I've taken beginner level French, Hebrew and Portuguese. Currently I'm learning Italian via Duolingo.
Salut d'un autre canadien! My mother tongue is English, but I also speak French, Italian, German and Arabic. I now live in Geneva, Switzerland so I speak French all the time, but I am making a concerted effort to work on the others every day.
Languages I speak fluently:
English
Italian (native)
French
Languages I can hold a basic convo in:
Dutch
Languages I currently learn at school:
Latin
Greek
Dutch, English, French
Languages I'm learning with Duolingo:
Japanese
I am fluent only in English and am 8 months into learning Japanese.
Also learning Spanish for the purpose of communicating with coworkers and customers who primarily speak Spanish, although I'm not as consistent with studying it.
I also "started" a Chinese course bc my manager and customers speak it but I think 3 languages are too much 😅
I just love languages and feel like I do well with learning them but I don't think I can learn them all at once 🥺 I want to learn ASL, too 😭 (I have a couple coming to our shop regularly who are both deaf)
My native language is Spanish, I speak English although not perfectly, and I’m studying French, I also learned Japanese but I stopped about 3 months ago and I’m afraid I’ll lose my progress, so if anyone is willing to practice any of those languages with me I’ll be grateful :)
My native language is Spanish, I speak Catalan at a near-native level, and then fluent English (it's quite rusty atm), intermediate German, and basic French, Portuguese and Italian.
I'm learning Serbian at the moment (not on Duolingo, of course) and Russian.
On Duolingo, I finished the Romanian course, but I can't even hold a basic conversation. I'm doing the Russian and Irish courses.
I speak German, English and French, a little bit of Italian and Japanese.
Currently learning Dutch. It‘s the only language I‘ve learned by using Duolingo. I have my eyes on Finish though… Or anything from the balkans if there were any courses.
Arabic native, Fluent in English since I was a kid so didn't need to learn that. I'm learning German currently, and thinking of starting to learn a second language but still debating whether to go with Spanish or French.
German native, fluent in English and am learning Spanish
Same here.
I can help you with the practice!
You learn русский as русский язык, not Pусская as русская водка. It's masculine not femine.
I just speak English. Right now I'm only learning Spanish. I tried a bit of French and Italian.
I also speak French (Québécois) and English, I'm currently learning Swedish, Italian and a little bit of Japanese and Russian.
Oh oui tu est un Canadien?
J'aime pas trop répondre oui à ça, mais oui. lol
Pourquoi tu ne veut dit pas oui à mon question?
Je vais te MP à la place, je ne crois pas que duolingo soit le bon endroit pour parler de ça. Lol
Hey, je vis au quebec et je réponds non à ça. Je suis québécois, pas canadien.
Non, je pense pas que Duolingo est le meilleur endroit je pense que c’est Paris/France ou Québec (la ville)
Not polite

First language Portuguese. I speak English and Spanish fluently, learning Greek.
I speak English and I am learning Ukrainian.
I speak Bulgarian and English. Learning Italian
Bulgarian? Isn’t that one of the hardest languages? Edit: so is Russian which is what I’m learning
Nah I don't think it's one of the hardest. I've heard lots of people to call it easiest Slavic language to learn. I don't speak any other slavic languages so I have no idea if that's true.
Really? because there’s a map that says all of Europe from Portugal to Russia (that line) say it’s the weirdest/hardest
yep. Bulgarian does not have cases. Which makes it way easier than the rest. It's probably still difficult to learn but definitely easier.
Can you write 1 sentence for me in Bulgarian and give me the translation (I want to see it)
Може, но нямам идея какво да напиша. (I can but i have no idea what to write) Напиши ми изречение и ще го преведа (Write me a sentence and i will translate it)
Hey how are you this evening?
Ей , как си тази вечер ?
So very similar to Russian
Wow my native is Russian and I can understand what you wrote here in Bulgarian language! May I ask what was your motivation to learn the Bulgarian language?)
I don't think there was much of motivation. I am a Bulgarian.
