Hello, I decided to respond here because I do not work as a linguist, but I am a polyglot.

My first language was Russian, then English, then Ukrainian.

I started learning Spanish, Ancient Greek, and Latin in elementary school. I started Mandarin Chinese in middle school. And I later picked up Sign Language.

Oh. I also like to program in several languages.

I also read hieroglyphics to expand my belief system.

It sounds like a lot, but honestly, once you pick up a language, try to find a dictionary in that language, whether it is digital or paper. Try to connect words with adjectives and adverbs and have a little bit of fun making absurd sentences.

Language is fun and constantly evolving.

Some apps that have helped me learn are udemy, sololearn, rabbit, memrise... and tapes from the local library.

Try to learn about things that are important to you, things you would like to know where they are at if you travel. Some pointing and repetition of the word, can translate in any language.

Last of all, if anyone knows how to learn Egyptian Arabic easily, please recommend it to me.
