I'm trying to learn Japanese by of course browning books at my local library on the subject.
I've got a few stories for those that love Star Wars and the Wings of Fire series:

I am trying to learn R'lyehian to better communciate with Derk and to uncover secrets to defeating her when the time comes.

More seriously, I have tried to learn several languages, but I lack the discipline to achieve anything meaningful. I do not really want to learn more Spanish than was required for high school, especially because I hate presentations / public speaking, which is often required in any such class -- having to do so in a foreign language only makes it harder.

i'm learning Japanese! though really it's been a while since i've done any actual studying due to university swamping my life atm haha. but, several months ago i signed up for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, which i'll be taking exactly one month from today, so... we'll see how that one works out, lol.

apart from that, i'm still learning English on a daily basis, haha. and in the future i'd love to learn (proper) German and maybe French or Spanish.

Japanese here, totally not because I'm an otaku that wants to study at Japan and live there while doing so nope. Well I've been learning since the 10th grade for High School. Now I'm studying independently.

Well I'm not learning English on a daily basis despite born in a non-English-speaking country 'cause it's my first language so...

I'm going into my third year of Japanese during my senior year at school. If I stay an extra semester or do a summer semester I might be able to graduate with a minor in it, so that's something I've been mulling over.

I'm also always trying to improve my Spanish since it's the native language spoken by my family and I'm not as fluent as I would want to be. Also took a semester of Mandarin recently and I really enjoyed that, the grammar struck me as pretty easy to grasp, so that's another one of those things I'm trying to do on my own since I can't at this point in my college career. (I'm already graduating late enough as it is)

I guess I learn a bit more English passively every day by my regular life. Actively, none at the moment.

Not at the moment, I'm not. But I was thinking just yesterday that I wouldn't mind getting some material to try and teach myself one, or even to refresh ones I knew a bit of before (that being just German and French, really).

Problem is, I'm not sure which language I would even want to start with, if I ended up doing that.

I'm in the process of learning Japanese. It's more of a casual thing as of now; I'm picking up bits and pieces from stuff such as anime as I go along. Once I'm done with my studies, I'd love to stay in Japan and improve on my Japanese to a more proficient level.

I learn French in school and Mandarin outside of school. Russian I'm bilingual in but still have classes to perfect my grammar. And I'm learning Japanese passively by watching anime.
Languages are awesome!! ^^

However elusive it may be, a silver lining can always be found-
In the holes in the fabric of the sky,
The rippling sliver of moon in water,
The distant glint of city lights-
And in the twinkle in your eyes.
