No, I dont really care about a language that would help me on the job market. I'm looking for a language that is easier and if I become fluent in that i'll try to do a 3rd language that is a little harder.
I've been considering Greek, Danish, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Esperanto, and maybe Turkish but i'm not really sure what a good one would be.
What are you looking for in a language? Something that will improve your chances on the job market or to connect you with your heritage?
Are you willing to learn a difficult language or do you want to start with something easier?
I remember that word because in Gulliver's Travels (the real novel, not the Disney version), one of the lands he visits is named Laputa. And yes, that was likely intentional. Though he spends a paragraph or two explaining the meaning of the name, which is basically nonsense.
Esperanto is a good one. I'd also suggest Indonesian. It's very simple with no cases or verb conjugation. It's also a good gateway to other Asian languages.

According to the CIA, Korean and Arabic are supposed to be some of the hardest languages for native English speakers to learn. I forget where I read that though.
The closest language to English is, to my knowledge, Norwegian. Plus they put circles over their letters. Bonus.

I can speak passable German. I also was forced to greul through primary school learning Japanese, of which I now remember nought.
Ich liebe Europäische Kultur, weil es klassisch, alt und woher meine Familie gekommt ist. (I think that was correct. I have so few people to speak this language to. If I Was incorrect, could someone who can speak it point that out for me?)
Just English; I was home-schooled and a second language wasn't something my mum taught. :L
I wanted to learn Japanese once, but wasn't motivated enough.
I may be a bit late with this, but in case you are still searching for a language........
As far as similarities to English go, any West Germanic language (Dutch, Afrikaans, Danish etc) is a good place to start. Romance languages are not to difficult either (especially French and Spanish) and bear some recognisable similarities to English.
As far as complexity goes, romance languages are very simple and easy to pronounce. Spanish is a particularly good starting point.
If you are a native English speaker and want something easy, try Spanish. If you want a challenge, try German. If you want to torture your memory and lingual centre, try Chinese Manderin.

Here I am.
Adjectives are written in lowercase, unless used in place of a substantive.
As my teacher pointed out, you can't love non-living creatures/things/ideas. For culture, hobbies, history, books etc it's better to use "sich interessieren für + [object in Akkusativ]".
Next thing, "die Kultur" is feminine. "Weil es klassisch" refers to it incorrectly, it should be "weil sie klassisch ist" (yeah, the statement also lack the verb "sein"). "Alt" can be put within that part of the statement - "weil sie klassisch und alt ist".
The verb "kommen" is a strong verb, therefore its Partizip II form you've used is incorrect (the correct form is "gekommen" - "kommen", "kamm", "(ist) gekommen").
So, as a result, we have this:
Ich interessiere mich für europäische Kultur, weil sie klassisch und alt ist und woher meine Familie gekommen ist.
Granted, I'm not a 100% Deutsch expert, but it should be something like this.
I can speak passable German. I also was forced to greul through primary school learning Japanese, of which I now remember nought.

"Sie", if used as a polite form, must be written in uppercase. Otherwise, your "sie" refers to either "her" or "them". I happen to be neither, lol.
Although the way I'll edit it may not be the most correct or simple one, here goes:
Ich habe keine Menschen, mit wem ich Deutsch praktizieren kann, somit vergesse ich [Pronouns, except for "Sie" in polite form, are written in lowercase] etwas die Sprachregeln.
I knew the third point but mistook die Kultur as being neuter.
I forgot that love does not apply to things of which cannot live, have bee… moren alive, or is alive.
I am used to writing the demonyms in capitol letters with English and can sometimes trip up with German hence.
The rest is new to me.
Ich verstehe jetzt. Ich danke sie. Ich habe keine Menschen mit Deutsch zu praktizieren, somit Ich vergasse etwas Sprachenregulen.
I have a few things to say about that one, too.

In der Schule, habe ich ein Freunde aus Belgien. Er lehrt mich Deutsch und lehre ich ihm etwas Englisch. Aber, mir ist vorübergehend lahm jetzt und somit gehe ich zu die Schule nicht für eine lange Zeit. Somit, vergasse ich, die Sprachenregulen.
Damn, lol. You must be hating me by now.
Modal verbs don't need "zu" before the infinitive. Also, adjectives used with indefinite article… mores show the gender of the substantive they describe.
So:
Ich muss ein deutsches (Programm is neuter) TV-Programm finden.
Parece que la mayoría de las personas en éste discusión hablan Español como un idioma segundo. ¿Es la verdad?

I took two semesters of Spanish and two semesters of ASL but didn't pay enough attention to retain anything that I was taught. So... in short, I know English and English only.
Ich hasst euch nicht. Ich danke euch.

French and some Spanish not much, wanted to learn more but every school I went to afterwards never offered Spanish.
I know some French, basic Japanese, and some Polish.
I know some Spanish, I can't pronounce the words very well but I can understand it.
If that makes sense.

I think i'll do Esperanto on Doulingo.
Anyone want to learn it with me its an easy language
Spanish,my native language, and English, but i wanna learn all the languages i can XD
I can speak American and Canadian. JK but I am learning sign language and German.
According to the CIA, Korean and Arabic are supposed to be some of the hardest languages for native English speakers to learn. I forget where I read that though.
The closest language to English is, to my knowledge, Norwegian. Plus they put circles over their letters. Bonus.
You can believe this or not.
But I am able to speak English, Danish, Chinese (Cantonese) and very little German.
I can speak passable German. I also was forced to greul through primary school learning Japanese, of which I now remember nought.

Just Spanish and English, that's it.
I speak Russian.
I'm also considering learning Spanish. I just love how it sounds, don't even sure why.
I remember having to learn about those when studying Shakespheare.

Danish is a North Germanic language, along with Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic.
Thanks for that clarification. I do not remember mentioning anything about Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic, though.
I just threw them together, so that Danish wouldn't feel so lonely.
Can I come out now, Germany?
Nein, Denmark. You stay on that peninsula!
Why am I even here? It is so lonely in the North Sea.
DON'T QUESTION ME!!!
Here I am.

Poland, can I have that part of former Prussia back? Bitte?
After what you did to me, Germany, Nigdy.

Well I don't speak them (as almost no-one actually can speak them) but I know Latin and Ancient Greek.
And I speak French and limited Arabic.
Ach, es tut mir leid. Ich muss ein deutsche TV-Programm zu finden.
Damn, lol. You must be hating me by now.

Finnish, English and Swedish (Just because we're forced to learn Swedish in our schools)
I'd like to learn Spanish and German.
Aaand I'm back (last time for today, I swear).
"Euch" derives from 2 Person Plural, "ihr". I'm just one person.
I speak English only, I blame the school system.
It's still in your hands to change that, ya know.
Only Portuguese. But I'd like to learn Spanish and French :P
