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.

While it's not an answer to your question, I recommend Hepsima's videos. He's a Finnish guy who speaks in Mandarin with people from China. His videos motivate me to learn Mandarin, and maybe when I reach a more advanced level, I'll also speak with people from China like him to practice.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
