I’ve been teaching myself Spanish over the last two years, primarily through Duolingo but increasingly been branching out into other stuff like Netflix and newspapers. Also in the process of making a bilingual blog to practice my writing skills and will likely end up taking lessons in iTalki or something similar.<p>Decided to learn Spanish as I dislike England and want to move somewhere warm and sunny. Spanish is spoken widely across the Americas so figured it would be a good choice to learn.<p>After I’ve mastered Spanish, I’m thinking about learning either German or French. I’d like to be able to speak Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. I’ve done a fair amount in each language on duolingo but I‘ve definitely devoted more of my time to Spanish than any of the others. I’m finding it more beneficial to stick to mastering one rather than flitting between different languages every few months like I used to.

Simplified Chinese.<p>Because I am considering relocating to China for the foreseeable future. I enjoyed living there.<p>I currently speak English as well as French, it’s fun learning a tonal language

I want to learn Icelandic, for no other reason that is beautiful.
