  1. If you're a native english speaker you're probably familiar with the song that goes: "ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRS TUV WXY and Z, now I know my ABCs, next time won't you sing with me." The song is very widespread and it introduces children to the English alphabet. Given that I for the most part like to treat my language learning as if I was a child learning a first language and not an adult learning a second one, I think that a song like this could be incredibly helpful to me. Looking around YouTube it doesn't seem that there's a widespread standard "alphabet song" for the Spanish language. Are any native Spanish speakers familiar with this kind of song, or have any learners found one while they were learning?
  2. I was leaning more towards Spanish in my head, and it looks like that's the general consensus from here. Thanks to you guys for the advice. I've began the Duolingo course(not the best resource I know, but it's free and it works well as a supplement to other resources), and I'm gonna go looking around for some more resources soon. I appreciate your opinions.
  3. I'm trying to decide what language I want to start learning. I want to eventually learn several languages, but I'm having a hard time deciding where to start. I've learned bits and pieces of Swedish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese, but nothing even close to conversational. I'd like to eventually learn all the languages I listed and a few others, but I'm having a hard time deciding where to start. Right now I'm thinking either Esperanto, Spanish, or Japanese. They all have their advantages which I will enumerate below. Maybe someone can help me make my mind up Esperanto It's an easy language that was designed to be learned by people like me. Spanish Growing up in the midwestern United States you pick up a lot of Spanish just from around. I'm from a rural area that doesn't have many native Spanish speakers, but we still hear a lot of it in media or from friends who took Spanish class in high school(I didn't take a foreign language class in high school). Also there's this girl I like who is learning Spanish as a second language and is already semi-fluent, so it'd be nice to have that as common ground. Japanese Japanese is the language I think I could be the most passionate about learning, given that I like Japanese culture(and not just for the anime), but it would also be the most difficult of all the languages I'm considering given its vast differences from my own native language. Those are the languages I'm considering starting soon. I would greatly appreciate any opinions or thoughts on what direction I should go in.
