Sign language! I think it could be really useful

I learned a little (Auslan) when I was in 3 yr old kinder because it was a group for children with disabilities and their siblings. We had a book at home and I learned the alphabet (I can't remember all of it now) my name, toilet, finished, yes and no. I still use some of these signs when teaching but would love to learn more. One of my uni lecturers also taught ASL, I think the rainbow song with signs.

    I speak Hindi as my mother tongue, then I learned English in school (an obsession with vocabulary which is still lively). Now English is my preferred conversation language. Moreover, I am learning Japanese and Sign language along with a wee bit of Korean and French.

    My languages, in order:
    1) Basic ASL before I could talk (mostly forgotten)
    2) English (my primary language)
    3) Some Spanish (they spoke Spanish to us at my daycare, which I have almost completely forgotten)
    4) Chinese to communicate with my pre-k bestie, taught by her while I helped teach her English (Don't speak it anymore)

    More recent (2021-present):
    5) Russian, which I started learning because of the episode in Grimm called Red Menace and it sounded cool. Barely speak it, learning with Duolingo
    6) Spanish, again. Not much improvement
    7) Italian mainly because of Maneskin, and it also sounds cool

    I know there is no real reason to, but I want to learn aurebesh(star wars) and standard galactic. In terms of real languages, I think swedish or polish would be cool!

    Iā€™d like to learn hindi/Punjabi, as it would make it easier to communicate with the older generation of my extended family. Also ASL would be useful. Iā€™m also learning French (because itā€™s a pretty popular language) and Ancient Greek (because the myths are fun).

    I also know Dutch

    Moi je parle un petit peu de francais! C'est un langue tres belle mais aussi difficile. Aur urdu boltay huay hindi mujhe thori bohat aati hay, agarchey kuch alfaaz urdu key different hotay hain, aur likhne ka system bhi alag hay dono ka. Tum ye "Roman Urdu" ya "Roman Hindi", ya "Roman Marathi" bhi, samajh sak ti ho? Likhna mujhe tora mushkil lagat hai, magar parhna aur aasan hay.

    I started on Japanese 20 days ago so I know next to nothing still. I did dabble with learning it back when I was anime obsessed, but knowing how to call someone a "idiot perv" doesn't really translate to real world. Gotta say knowing some Chinese helps with the writing though.

    I learned Japanese for 5 years in Primary school, 2 semesters of French and Chinese in high school. I wish I had kept using them as I have forgotten most of it. I have also been learning Irish on and off for a few years on Duolingo. I wish I had someone else to practice it with to become more familiar. I am interested in language development in general, and have picked up a few phrases from random languages in writing and from tv series.

    I took 2 years of spanish in school and never used it, even in Texas. My best friend for the last 10 years speaks spanish and thankfully some english. My grandparents spoke german. I picked up a little of those. I live on the Quebec border so the most useful now would be french since signs in Vermont are in English and French

    Apart from my native language, English, I speak French. I have also studied Maori, Latin, Old English, Middle English and Middle French (High School and University studies). I have a few words in Samoan and Irish. My father spoke Samoan, Mandarin and Cantonese plus some Huk. He picked these up as a boy in 1930's Dunedin plus during his service in the NZ Navy. Samoan, he learned in the 1980's so he could communicate with our many Samoan customers in Auckland. My mother spoke Maori which she learned as a girl growing up in 1930's Kawhia, New Zealand. Our ancestors were English, Irish, Scots and German so no family influences language wise. It's true that once you learn one language, the next ones are easier. Especially true when the languages are related.

    Italian. Mainly because we're vacationing there. I almost need speech therapy to form and say these new (to me) words and phrases.

    I learnt English, Russian and latin in school. Planning to learn Italian.

    Honestly very surprised by the amount of people learning French...you guys are brave. Quick question: how do you learn when and when not to pronounce the the letters? It comes naturally for us but for learners how does that go, since a lot of the time there's no logic (and too many rules)?

    I was never very good with the rules, but I guess you would say I have an ear for language, if I hear it pronounced properly I can copy it fairly well.
