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 use Mango. The “premium” version is free with my local library card, it’s like a better version of flash cards. Anki is still pretty good. I used to use Duolingo but since Google bought them they have been evil

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.
