My native language is tagalog and the language I want to learn is Korean. I've been a fan of Kdramas and Kpop since I was 12 years old, and I've only picked up a few words and phrases. Now that I've also started to like korean light novels and webtoons, I realized it's really time for me to learn korean. It's hard to rely on Google translate for translation, as korean is one of the languages it can't translate accurately. What about you guys? What other language interests you?

Mandarin would be my choice. I have read that it is one of the most spoken languages in the world plus many Chinese movies seem really interesting but I can never read fast enough to keep up with the theme of those movies.

Yeah, Mandarin seems like a good choice. If it didn't have thousands of characters, I would have loved to learn it too.

I love language and know bits and pieces of many. As I know Japanese, I was able to teach myself some Korean . . . some words and the grammar are similar (but well a lot of it is still different). I know many Filipinos, but somehow I have not picked up much tagalog. I grew up learning Spanish and I worked with Iranians to know some Farsi. I'd love to learn them all if that were even possible!
