What other languages do you want to learn and why?

          I only have 3 languages that I am fluent in. Bisaya, Tagalog, and English. Personally, I would like to know Spanish because I think the language is so elegant and graceful. Also it is one of the top universal languages in the world. The second language I would like to learn is Chinese but it is too complicated for me. We had a mandarin subject back in college and it was just too confusing for me. It was like learning an entire new language because it was very different with it's tone and diction unlike Spanish where some words are still close to the English language. Although someday, I would like to learn Chinese again because it is also one of the top languages in the world and also in my line of work, it is also good for business.

I am learning Spanish. I would like to learn French next. I tried to learn both Soanish and French at the same time and overwhelmed myself. :)

I am English living in Spain I could help with some basic Spanish I get by but could do with someone native to speak with.

I am trying my best to learn Korean. I love their Series/Dramas and their songs are intriguing, and I think their culture is amazing. When I was in highschool I actually like Japanese due to my interest in Anime, but I am having a hard time to learn the 'syllabary' (katakana, hiragana and kanji). So, I shifted to Korean, as it is much easier.

i am trying to learn German since its similar to dutch, cuz when someone next to me speaks German at times i good understand them fully. Spanish is also a language i would love to learn since i live in south america.

I really would like to learn basic Japanese or Spanish. I like to travel and meet people from different cultures. But I want to start with Japanese since I have co-workers from Japan.

I want to learn German first 

I'm trying to get all my languages to a strong B2 level, and it will probably take about 2 years. After that, I think it's Brazilian Portuguese. 

that was actually another language i would love to learn 

I would like to learn Spanish better, I know the grammar, the logic, the basics already but I just need to hear and speak it. At the moment I dont have any Spanish speaking friends :/

Strangely i find sometimes i watch something with foreign subtitle online in a language i don't know and manage to follow some of the words.I really need to put my efforts into mastering some better Spanish but there are tonnes of languages i have tried/ want to try to learn.

Where do you pass the language tests?

I've never taken a CEFR test; I'm just very familiar with the level. You can read about the levels in wikipedia, and see videos of people taking the test on youtube. 

I'd like to learn Tagalog since it's my wife's native language. I know a few phrases, but not much more. I'd also like to learn more French this that will help me communicate with people from multiple African countries. I'd also like to learn Arabic. It's so different from any language I've seen written, and it's so useful to know!

In my country, it depends on which language you want to get assessed. For Spanish, most employers require that you be assessed at Instituto Cervantes. For French, Alliance Francais.

I like to learn Spanish...

Instituto Cervantes is pretty affordable. So if you're anywhere near Manila, it's worth a try. You should also check out audiobooks by Michel Thomas. :) He's pretty awesome. I tried learning Spanish so I have some learning materials. Wasn't really that into the language though so it didn't work out.

I am spanish native, I speak english and now I am lerning french, after I would like to learn Italian.

Tagalog is pretty easy. :) Most people get to conversational levels in a month or so. That and I think there are a tons of learners here from the Philippines who can help you out. :)

I'm trying to learn Arabic, as I am a Muslim it is essential, and I find it interesting to speak. 

I've decided to learn French because I've always found it fascinating. I would also love to read the original text of Le Petit Prince. 

i would consider learning German because its similar to dutch. 

Arabic is a great one, I'd love to learn more of that too 

Would love to learn Japanese and Spanish =)

Only two have registered as teachers. The site just started so we're lacking native speakers for some languages. :(
