That's a big list! I suggest if you want to get back into languages, don't pick a language like Russian/Arabic as it will be tough going with new alphabets etc. Something more 'popular' such as French/Spanish/German will also make it easier for you to find online resources etc. It also has to be a language that interests you, perhaps research the cultures, see which will interest you and keep you going.

Are you planning on taking an A level?

Not for A-Level. I'm a third year science student wanting to better myself. I'm feeling French.

French or Spanish will probably be the most useful!

Although learning something like arabic/punjabi I would imagine would be quite interesting but perhaps more difficult and not as useful?

Depends if your wanting to visit a certain area of the world, where one language could benefit you more than others, or if you just want to learn one that's interesting or as a new skill.

Spanish is really easy, but I prefer French :love:

, both of them have a quite gradual learning curve (maybe French more so) but German is ridiculous, was the easiest to begin with but definitely the hardest at GCSE/ Alevel
