Language learning has been part of me since high school. I'm solid in 2 non-English languages, crappy but survivable in 2 others. I've played with & started learning others many times.
I'm real busy rn, but language learning could be a fun thing to do for myself & make me feel like I'm still me.
But I'm stumped about my language picks. I learnt the obvious European languages in school; later tried key Asian languages. What do I want to do now?
African languages? I won't be getting a chance to use them much in Aus, & I'm unlikely to get to a stage where I can read literature.
I tried Slovenian/Slovene on a whim & really love it, but I'll never go there. Is the practical but unfun answer grind out more kanji/hanzi? Or is whimsically learning a language spoken by only 2.5 million people reasonable? I will continue struggling through with Ukrainian, 'cause I think it's important.

Welche Sprachlernapps außer Duolingo nutzt ihr und warum? (also, warum diese App, nicht, warum lernt ihr Sprache xy)
(nutzt du keine App, scrollscrollscroll)
*edit* Ergänzung: geht um Ukrainisch, das wird leider von keiner der genannten Apps angeboten. Muß dann wohl doch mit Duolingo weitermachen, außer jemand weiß dazu konkret was
