I'm English, and I'd like to learn a language over time purely for the sake of it. I want to be able to do that shit outta Yes Man :v: I was able to sing in broken spanish once.
[QUOTE=Jojje;40194206]First language is Swedish, I'd like to learn Russian. First I'm gonna have to learn the cyrillic alphabet though, which shouldn't be too hard, I know a bit already.[/QUOTE] Cyrillic is really simple, it's basically English with the letters switched around (and a few extra ones). It shouldn't take more than a few days to learn.

English/Japanese/German/Swedish English native speaker, have been doing Japanese for..well, going on four years now. German and Swedish would probably be around a year. Oddly I hear people say learning a few languages at once gets annoying/confusing/hard but hey I have the time for it and I enjoy it so whatever works for me I guess :v:
Native German speaker, constantly trying to improve my utter-shite English. [video=youtube;6zkZ3f8DnKs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkZ3f8DnKs[/video]
Got 14/15 in my Classical Languages test today.
Currently learning German because I have family over there which I visit a lot.

I'm doing spanish because I think the country has nice culture.
I speak basic German, maybe around 500 words, and I can speak in past and present tense. Right now I'm trying to expand my vocabulary with Memrise. So what's this Duolingo about, is it any good? Can I skip the basics? And has anyone here tried learning two languages simultaneously? Spanish looks quite easy...

Currently learning 2, but they are so similar that it's hardly comparable to learning say English/Spanish.
Spanish is my first language, learning a bit of German.
Might as well have a crack at dutch (seeing as the Netherlands are closer to me than Wales or Scotland)
Native German speaker, I also speak English and I can understand Dutch.
English is my first. Trying to learn French.
Swedish is my mother tongue, English comes second. Although sometimes I find myself knowing more words in English than in Sweden, and I even think in English most of the time.
Estonian is my native language, English comes in second and then Russian, because my mother was of Russian roots. I speak Russian better though, by that I mean I dont have such a crippling accent when I speak it, but I can convey my thoughts far better in English and my grammar in English is also a lot better. (part of this because I grew up with some russian friends and I got a lot of street slang from them lol)
learning mandarin, 10 months on and off so far
Spaniard with Spanish as mother tongue. I'm studying English and preparing for my FCE test, which is in June and would give me a B2 qualification. Sometimes I get nervous while talking to a native English speaker, I'm very afraid of making mistakes and sometimes I have trouble catching what they are saying, being their accent an obstacle for me to understand them at times. Mostly I'm told I don't sound natural. Apparently I mix informal and formal language :S
Vietnamese is my first language. English second. Currently learning German.
