    Italian, fluently, I've got so much family out there but a massive communication barrier, I can read it but I can't speak or understand it when spoken.

    Wow, deciding the one language that I'd learn is tantamount to deciding the one extremity I'd amputate. I'm a language aficionado and I could really study all 7,000+ of them with equal enthuse and enjoyment.

    At the moment, however, learning Abkhaz to a ~B2 (as per the CEFR) level of proficiency is my primary goal. If only I could find some damn resources for it, I'd be the happiest linguaphile this side of the Milky Way. LOL!

    I speak English as a first language. I did all my schooling from Kindergarten to grade 12 in French. And now I am learning Mandarin.

    Right now, I'm slowly teaching myself how to learn Japanese.
    For other languages tho, I'd love to learn Spanish and French for sure. I might take interest in other languages but, for now, these are my interests.

    What changed?

    I had two years of French, but didn't find it to be useful.

    Living in the US, unless you have big money to regularly travel long distances, the only other language most people can use regularly is Spanish.
