Very interesting that you want to attempt Japanese! All I can say is: "Nihon-go ga wakarimasen." (I don't speak Japanese.)

@mothcorrupteth , heel veel succes met je studie Nederlands!
Goodness, if I had time. Let's see, my German is passive and semi-active. So, I'd give that a boost since I'm in Düsseldorf and Oberhausen twice a year.
Gaelic, for reasons I don't understand
Maybe because some tones sound very familiar.
Icelandic
Portuguese
Old English and Frisian for comparative studies

I haven’t studied it enough yet to give you any reasonable answer (I’ve only done one lesson), but it seems to be reasonably straightforward to speak. My son has had difficulty writing and reading it, though.

I now speak Portuguese, and some Swahili from Africa. It is best to learn languages by going to the country where they are spoken. For the first 6 months I was in Brazil, I was completely lost. The spoken Portuguese seemed nothing like the words I saw in the tourist language guides.
I highly recommend that you buy a dual-language Bible, for whatever language you are learning. So the 2 languages, English and the other language, are side-by-side. It is tremendously helpful. But you absolutely need a native speaker to be sitting with you, when you do this. The spoken words can sound very different from the way that they are printed.

So how is the Chinese coming along?
A Bible in the language one is learning can certainly come in useful. (John 1 is a great passage to follow; the language there is clear and simple.)

John chapter 1 is a great chapter to follow, when engaged in language learning and improvement.

I'm beginning French. I've had some exposure years ago and will be studying overseas. There are four languages related to my calling and I've decided to learn them. It will aid my business and increase my communication skills. These are my choices:
French, Italian, Mandarin, and Arabic

I want to speak the language that goes like this:
"love your enemies, pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven."
That's a language of beauty and strength that I can't yet speak in my heart.
