I’d like to learn Mandarin and also have interest learning Russian, Arabic and Spanish, but don’t really know where to start. I know apps like Duolingo and Mango exist, but are those the best options? Would I be best off taking a class? To my multi-lingual comrades, where should I start?
Edit: Thanks for all the great replies everyone! I have a lot of resources to look into now.


I’ve been using this app and find it’s fantastic https://www.superchinese.com/
They break up the lessons into small chunks, and you practice speaking, learning sentence structure, and characters. I found it was incredibly helpful for me.
