I am interested in:
- Russian
- German
- Arabic
- Latin

But I'd probably never get to any of them. :(

I'm currently learning Spanish. As a bonus, I can understand some Portuguese.

My language bucket list:
-Spanish (in the next three years)
-Portuguese (in the next five years)
-Catalan (for fun; in the next six years)

if you learn to sing songs in those native tongues, it will help the new languages to stick better. :idea: I learned how to sing "manha de carnaval" in Portuguese, and already some Portuguese words stick out for me.

Thanks, I'm also trying to get television channels. Peruvian television is poor quality, so it seems.

Online streams, so I'm not actually getting them on my television.

Well, what languages do you want to learn/are you learning? I'm assuming Russian Spanish, I mean Portuguese.

I've always been partial to French. I mainly like picking on my guitar and croaking along in an attempt at singing some songs, the ones i'm working on are in foreign tongues, such as French and Portuguese. not too many, really- mainly "mon pays bleu" and "manha da carnaval."

Something of (the) carnival? I feel as if I should know manha, because it's probably a cognate with Spanish.

"morning of carnival." carnaval is brazil's big party they have each year. it was from the movie "orfeu negro" and was written by the great Brazilian guitarist luiz bonfa. in the movie it was sung in the movie by the late great agostinho dos santos, soccer star breno mello was just lip-syncing.

Ah, it's mañana in Spanish. Why are you learning Portuguese and French? The culture? The history?

Understandable, Brazilian Portuguese sounds leagues better than European Portuguese. I know from Portuguese learners and linguists alike that this is a popular opinion.

I've not gotten to hear what national Portuguese sounds like. is it more guttural than Brazilian? I sorta like the count of Catalan, also.

S is pronounced like sh in European Portuguese. E sounds are dropped most of the time. Estou would sound like "sh-ow" instead of "eh-st-ow". Catalan sounds beautiful, a compromise between Spanish and French.
