For me I've had an interest in Japanese, but I've also been interested in Russian and Spanish.

For the par I would like to learn German I guess as well because my heritage is German.

On a side note besides duolingo does anyone know of any good sites to learn enough to become somewhat fluent?

hmm

now when you've mentionted it, Japanese :D

Italian without doubt
So soothing to the ear, so mellifluous!

I always wanted to learn French and Italian

Japanese is Very difficult,You need to spend a lot of time.

Hard to pick one but two that come to mind at the moment would be Spanish.  Another I'd think would be Japanese or maybe even French.  I wish I could learn 7 languages, that would be so awesome.

I already speak 3 languages. I want to learn to more french and chinese.  :)

I can speak three languages myself, but i'm still learning spanish whenever i have free time in my hands.
I found online spanish course (http://www.online-spanish-course.com) to be a helpful resource there's a lot but currently i'm following them.

First, I'd like to finish learning French since I started learning when I was in elementary. But I would like to study Italian, i think it's really useful and a really beautiful language.

The easiest language to learn are spanish and italian. You can pretty much learn these languages by yourself just fron online course. I always wanted to learn english on some higher level, basics seems simple enough and easy to understand but to know english on a master level is really not that simple at all.

Spanish, I find it great to listen to as well as being widely spoken and therefore very useful

Farsi, I just think it sounds outstanding and while I do understand words, I would love to speak and understand it well

I'm currently torn between German and Russian; I've spent more time with German so far, also on Duolingo, but I really like Russian. ::)

I only know English :( I always wanted to learn Spanish but was too lazy.

Italian or French.

French. I did it at school but forgot most of it and could never grasp the accent so I sounded quite stupid. I never really had the confidence to pull it off.

Russian and French
i want to speak that language
but french accent is too difficult

Wow three huh, nice!  What languages do you speak if you don't mind me asking?  Also do you do alot of traveling or is it just a hobby of yours?  Last question, did you go to school to learn or another method?

Learning spoken language is actually fairly easy, but when you try to learn Hiragana and Katakana it's like somebody just vomited a load of weird characters on the screen, even worse when it's kanji, I still haven't understood how you link up the characters to make the full words yet.

Any online tutorials/lessons I've found have done this typical thing of skipping over the part you really need :(

i have always had a interest in learning the Sicilian accent and language and mix english and Sicilian , you know like they do in mafia movies ,, its pretty cool , :D

I speak three languages already. I was brought up speaking one language to my mother, one language at home and one in school. I can now say I fully understand them all, but can only speak and write fluently in two of them.
If I could learn another, I'd like to learn Chinese. Truth it's, that's unrealistic. So, I'd probably go for Spanish. It's relatively easy and quite similar to French.

I was just thinking the same thing myself.  The "characters"  looks so confusing to me and it would be nice to understand that also and things like calligraphy also intrigue me.

I find that fascinating that you were able to learn 3 languages as a child.  At a time when a persons mind is ready to absorb so much information I'm wondering how hard it would be for me an adult.  I must admit you envy you and I hope you able to use your linguistic ability for many things in the future.

Japanese, mainly because of the anime/manga I've been watching ever since I was a kid. Love the culture.
Chinese would also be very handy to know.

Right now I speak 4 languages fluently and am wondering which one to target next. ;)

Thanks :)
I'll admit that as much as I try, I still respond to my mother in English despite her only speaking French to me. It has proved to be handy before when abroad and also making some exams easier too. I should definitely try to practice using it more.
If you're looking for good tools, I recommend Rosetta Stone. It's an expensive kit, but you can pick some language courses up quite cheaply online.

Thanks for the advice.  I"m going to learn Spanish.  I've always wanted to learn it so if I can find Rosetta Stone and the price is right I'll be sure to grab it!   ;)

french :)

Arabic and chinese

French and Italian sound like nice languages. I've never bothered to learn another though.

I would like to learn Japanese or Chinese :) or German :)

Spain and German would be cool, but don't have time for it  >:(

Wow, i'm really surprised about the popularity of italian language here

But le me understand ...
maybe because i'm italian motherlanguage, but i don't find it so "beautiful" nor "useful".

I'm realizing that the coolness of italian language is mainly derived from movies  :)

I think that would be better learn wide spoken languages like chinese, spanish, arabic .

However, if you learn italian you will be able to understand (very roughly) a bit of spanish, Portuguese, french, and a dead language like latin.

i like to learn Japanese or Chinese! Xingling

mmh, rosetta stone use a particolar full immersion approach that imaho could be useful only if you are very young.
Just for hobby i tried it (for japanese) and even if i was able to aswer correctly to the quiz inside RS, at the end i was still confused.
That happens because they don't show you the translation of the words. They show only pictures, so sometimes you could mistake the word "child" with "son" or "nephew".

If u get it free, try it, but if you want pay full price, think twice.

I like to learn
1. French,
2. Mandarin,
3. Russian,
4. Germany.

For fun: French
From a business point of view: Mandarin

Currently I can speak only  2 languages and now working hard for 2 more taking too much time but I am also trying hard for them German and French I love to learn them

I'd love to learn Spanish. People always say french was such a nice language to listen to. I recently had people from Spain sitting next to me in cinema in cologne and I overheard them talking in Spanish: It's such a nice fluent language. It just sounded beautiful. Much better than french. But maybe I am biased because the people happened to be nice looking women ;).

I always wanted to learn Japanese too, their way of speaking is so pleasant to listen to. Writing is so difficult though. In reality I'll probably try to learn Spanish or Italian, latin based langiages are the easiest. 

I want to learn Japanese because it seems interesting and the culture is interesting. I would LOVE to visit Japan one day.Also speak fluent english,spanish and french

Japanes or china.

Italian, Latin, French, Chinese, Japanese, (English can be improved too :))

I wanted to learn the korean language.

I'm fluent in English, and Spanish. I know German. I know a bit of Japanese, because I just happen to watch a ton of anime. But I want to learn more, because, ugh, I love their culture.

Spanish and French would be my choices for now because they're easier for me :). Romance languages sound great.

君はいい趣味を持てるね。私も日本文化を好きで、特にアニメとか、ゲームとか。

You have some pretty good taste.I like japan culture too,such as anime and tvgame.

Try to guess which language is the most difficult in the world when it comes to grammar rules and exceptions. (The hardest to write is Chinese, but it's not the most difficult to speak properly).

If I were to learn it instantly, like get it uploaded to my brain, I'd pick Chinese, Japanese or Korean, otherwise it'd be something easy, like Spanish.

Portuguese and Spanish without a doubt

I would like to learn probably Jap  :P

I always wanted to learn an unusual language e.g. Lithuanian language

I would like to learn Russian, but I'm afraid that it will be too difficult for me

Here is my wishlist:

1. Russian
2. Afrikaans
3. Serbian
4. Georgian
5. Slovincian

Chinese

I'd like to know Japanese natively, like via The Matrix. Learning, I'm too English-centric.

i always wanted learn and improve my English :)

french!

Japanese, Chinese, french

Good luck with that.  ;D My friend, who is learning Japanese for the past two years told me that to be able to achieve intermediary level knowledge in Japanese, you need to study the language for at least 4 years. Is it really worth that much effort?

Russian, French.

I know its hard but i like to learn Japanese language it seems so interesting.

Yes!

Chinese

I want learn Japanese and russian!

it's true, kanji is difficult because you need to memorize it
even japanese young people are difficcult to understand kanji ;D
but I think hiragana and katakana is easy to memorize and learn

Well already studied quite a few languages but I would have to say that at the present Russian and Chinese are ones that I haven't learnt yet but would like too that or Tagalog/Pangasinan
Japanese is a fun language though got to understand my raws if their is no fangroup subbing a series XD
(Chiko Heiress of the Phantom Thief for almost 4 months lol)

I plan on moving to Europe in the next decade, preferably France.

Therefore, it'd be wise for me to pickup French :)

I've already started on duolingo. Trying to get the wife involved in the learning process.

Welp, I'm sold.

Japanese, Korean, Russian

that all  ;D

Japanese in first place, but all the other oriental languages would be great to

spanish sounds sexy
but learn english more important

I'm curious why so many people know 3 or 4 languages already and I'm barely proficient in 1. Did you learn as a real young child? I don't understand how this works, I can't wrap my mind around another language, I took Spanish and French in high school and I barely know any today.

Keep at it. Once you pick up a second language, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th..is so much easier.

Is it because some languages have roots in others, like root words? I'm really interested in linguistics and language but this is all confusing.

I like to learn japanese,spanish and chinease , Most of the time i speek tamil and english

There are so many languages to pick from!  :o

I want to learn Japanese and i want to live in japan. ;D Mostly speaking language is Sinhala and Tamil. ;)

I'm curious what is Tamil? Is it an offset of another language? I realize that many countries have different languages, but there are a bunch listed here that I've never even heard of before.

I would like to speak Papiamento, because my mom is from Aruba.
And I go there on vacation alot, most of the people there speak dutch but not all.
Alot of people speak spanish to so that would be nice.
Because my family there can mostly speak 4 languages:

Dutch
Papiamento
English and Spanish
 

Russian, Mandarin and Spanish-haven't settled on a dialect yet.

spanish and italian ;D
tamil is one of indian language, especially dravidian language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dravidian_languages)
dominant in south india and north-east sri lanka
india has many local language with million speakers

This entire thread that I think I started just became a TIL thank you very much.
Linguistics and such really interest me, learning different dialects and languages (I don't know if they are the same I haven't done much study) as such it would be really great to have roots in a different language (than American).

They are the same as it's the same language but that doesn't mean you understand exactly what they mean either..
Think Deep south, or far north in America, same language different dialects, one says soda, another pop, another coke-pepsi.
Someone with a deeper understanding of Linguistics could explain it better.

I like to learn more about French language, I already know a little french, But I don't know how to use French grammar. I like the way it is spoken. One of my ambition is to live in France in the future.

Portuguese ;)
