    I wanted to learn German, but since I already know English and it's a Germanic language as well, I was thinking of trying someone different. Since I already know some Tagalog and English(Germanic), I wanted to try something different, so maybe a Romance language like Spanish, or perhaps Greek is what I'll try out.

    The only other foreign language I can somewhat learn is German. I've tried to learn some other European and non-European languages but I didn't have much luck with them. I've watched a few lessons on youtube. I know the basics. As the lessons progressed,I started having trouble pronouncing the new words. That's why I stopped watching them. Its easier for me to learn the meanings of the the words but I can't pronounce most of them. I should think about trying to learn the German language again. If I went to Europe it would be beneficial for me to know the German language. Isnt German one of the most widespread languages in Europe?

    German is the most spoken language in the EU, as a first language, that is.

    I have been thinking about learning Swahili. Some say it's easy to learn, and it's a good choice for an African language.

    Hindi, since that's the main language of my country. I can already understand Gujarati.
