i speak English and Spanish fluently and given that Spanish has roots in common with all the other Romance languages, like Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, French, and others (i think most or all of the languages spoken in Spain) i was wondering which one could be potentially easier to learn or have an easier time learning, based on your experiences, especially those of you here who are native Spanish speakers.

maybe i could also have a chance of learning Turkish, so if anyone has experience with that i would also appreciate some guidance about whether I should choose that one over any of the others.

I am gonna leave this subreddit!

So I am in my freshman year of university, planning to major in Nursing. I am wanting to minor in and learn a language; (REALLY valuable in healthcare) but, I’m stuck between two: Spanish and Mandarin.
Although Spanish might seem like the obvious answer, I’m not sure if I’m planning to stay in the U.S. Even if I was, Spanish is the second most spoken language with Mandarin behind it. Also, I really want to study abroad in China or Taiwan. I love both languages and already have a background in Spanish because of school. My logic is that I should learn a hard language while in uni then, if I wanted to learn one that was easier (like Spanish), I could try and learn it myself. And of course, I am also concerned about trying to learn/retain Mandarin whilst in Nursing school TT.
Im just really conflicted and am running out of time. Any tips/facts would be helpful! 🙏

I am planning to go to university next year to complete a bachelors of language studies which allows for the selection of up to two major languages. My minor of choice is going to be in linguistics. What language would pair well with studying French? Is it better to choose something with no relation to make each language distinct in study or is it better to have familiarity but risk mixing them up? My options are Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, German or Indonesian.

My criteria for picking is the quality of life in the country + the people. Just looking for a comfortable life with good weather and ease of transport.

I recently started studying Spanish but the thing is that I seem to always get distracted by other languages(especially Russian) and I really want to learn a language with a new script and given how many information there are in Russian it is a really attractive language for me. But in the future I plan to live in Spain so I am kind of torn apart on whether to learn Russian or Spanish. I know Spanish is kind of a necessity but I just cant find it in myself to commit fully to it even tho I think Spanish is a beautiful language. In regard to my learning method I can self learn myself to fluency even with difficult language, but the requirement is that I have to find something to immerse in, in Spanish I struggle to find anything beyond Spanish content in youtube and instagram, which I think just makes it harder to immerse. For Russian I think there are a lot of hidden websites and information, so maybe it is easier for me to immerse in Russian. I have no idea. But still I love both language, so I just keep delaying and learn neither Spanish and Russian.There is also German which my parents want me to pick because of potential free school but I personally have no interest in, what should I pick?

I speak Russian, French, English, and conversational in Moroccan Arabic. I’m culturally closer to the Azeris and have a connection to Azerbaijan through family. But I know Turkish is more lingua Franca and to an extent is intelligible to other Turkic based languages.
