I'm currently in German classes, next semester I start classical Greek, and next year I start Latin :)

Before these classes, though, I was learning German on my own--mostly with Memrise--and I'll have to go back to that next year for scheduling reasons. I may try out Duolingo this time. FWIW, I highly recommend this series for learning colloquial German:

Thanks. I will check it out.

When you say classical Greek, is that the kind of Greek they speak today? Or is it ancient?

Ancient! The ultimate goal being graduate study in the classics.

Have fun with Latin. It's almost too simple for a language, from what two uni courses on the matter that I've been through.
