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.

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'd highly recommend using Preply, I've been using it for 2 separate languages over the last few months and have had a lot of success. One of the cheaper mediums for getting a 1 on 1 tutor, no app can beat that kind of interaction imo.
