Learning foreign languages
| Learn JavaScript
| Learn Swiss German, it's not hard at all.
| Duolingo seems popular and I think they support other languages?
| I always found the languages with non Latin characters interesting so I'd suggest one of those :p
| How hard is it for someone in their mid 20s to learn a new language?
| >>237040 that depends on your diligece and desire. My 35-yo math teacher started leaning German three years ago and now coud keep the conversation going on this language.
| I am studying Japanese at university, so there is that
| I've learned english by playing videogames and using the freaking internet and cuz I liked the languages and it utilities, so not only I suggest duolingo but I suggest a language that you will use and like it, let say that you are a filthy weeb, japanese could be a good choice since you would use to read, watch and play stuff.

| Immersion and approaching the language without connecting it much to your own (like with Rosetta Stone)
| Learn new languages from memes.
| Duolingo isn't great to start a non-English-like language (eg Japanese) from scratch, but it's great to practice with.
| I'm Serbian. Learned German when I was 4 by watching TV (KIKA was the shit mann!) and learned English by chatting with people on online multiplayer games and watching cartoon network when I was 11.
Don't recommend learning languages like this tho as you barely learn any writing from watching TV. Also it fucks up your native language if you are a loner and your only contact is with visual arts.
In general try learning the grammar before the vocabulary. Avoid the mistakes I made...
| I am thinking of learning Japanese,so for all the weebs out there. Pick up a copy of Genki 1 and 2. It's like a average language textbook but starting with those isn't a bad idea. Having a basic knowhow would probably make you confident enough to actually go onto those sites where you chat with someone who wants to learn your language.
Anyways this is better then watching anime subs.
| I've learned Japanese and am currently going to college,
so am learning French now aswell.
One important note is to learn and remember the vocabulary. But you may try to get the grammar right first.. Since without it you may not able to structure sentences. Once you get it right you should practice it everyday. But well.. to structure good sentences you need to know the vocabulary xD So.. as you may can read, those two go hand in hand.

| Just want to know how you guys learn foreign languages. I've learned Eng at school (and now at pre-intermediate lvl or lower) and just wanted to learn some new languages to be able to read it.
When I first time used Memrise I found it very inconvenient to use. LinguaLeo is only for Englis afaik... And I don't know any more websites.
