4th language suggestions?
Hello! Native English speaker here. I'm looking to expand my language repertoire by adding on an entirely new language with little overlap from the languages I already know.
Current languages apart from my original are:
Spanish - Learned in school, 11 years of formal education on-and-off since I was 6. I use this language weekly if not daily with coworkers and guests at my job. I can generally sustain conversations with guests with specific language related to my profession with little to no assistance from translation. My proficiency with Spanish grammar specifics is patchy due to length of time away from school/active learning, most of my development in the language comes from active engagement with Spanish speakers in my life.
Swedish - Started learning 2 years ago, found it fairly easy to pick up due to some prior German knowledge and easy enough grammar rules. I can write/speak basic Swedish decently and am working on listening/conversation skills.
VERY limited French/German. Learned these languages in school for about 2 years in elementary school so I know a little bit more than average Joe maybe but not much.
I'm looking into learning a new language that is much different from the ones I've already had some experience with but am unsure where to start. (Not interested in Italian/Portuguese because it's too close to Spanish, and I'm still working on a Germanic language with Swedish so not interested in another language in that same family, etc.)
Obviously this will be a challenge learning something in a language family that's entirely foreign, but if there are any suggestions that are not EXTREMELY difficult out of the gate that would be preferred.
I don't have much opinion on finding a language that is super useful in day to day life or for business reasons, as my desire to learn another language is really just for fun or to expose me to another culture, but I don't want it to be impossible for me to find a language learning partner to help practice.
Any suggestions? Something Slavic? Uralic? Arabic? Asian?
A personal favorite second/third language you wish more people learned? I'm all ears
