I am currently learning German, as I moved to Germany last year. My native language is English. I've dabbled in Spanish, French, and Russian, but German is the first one I've had reason to really intensively learn.

Having a reason to learn is crucial. Otherwise it's hard to prioritize learning high enough.

I'm stuck while learning Mandarin. I need more reasons next to "a third of world's population are speaking it".
Having scheduled online sessions with a tandem helped.

If Firefly is at all a predictor of the future, maybe we'll all be learning it in the next century.
