duolingo is a cool free program (for web https://www.duolingo.com/ , or android and iOS stores) that gamifies learning languages...
so far only Spanish German French Italian Portuguese and Dutch from English, with Irish Danish and Swedish soon to appear in beta and many others due to follow.
I'm pretty sure anybody with an interest in languages will find it cool too, specially mcfeegle or pino
as for 2048, I got bored of regularly scoring >30000 so I took up Dutch on duo instead, together with the other five (six including English in the reverse trees)United in diversity !!!

Learning languages for fun
Duolingo is crap, you can easily learn a language, by adding it to your keyboard

I tried to learn French for a good while. Did two years of classes when I was working at York University. I know a lot more than I did but still a very long way from being able to hold a conversation.
Come to the realisation that it's very difficult without having regular exposure to the language and I haven't been to France since 2008.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

True, but I reckon you would be surprised how quickly it will come along if you do go and spend some time there. You probably know more than you think you do. Thats what I found with German. No matter how many words you learn or German films you watch, you need to be surrounded by it. Before I first moved to Germany I was ill with tonsillitis. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! But it did however allow me to brush up on my vocab and grammar. There are still a host of words I know that whenever I speak them I am reminded of being ill in bed. Thankfully it was a beautiful bed from Zen Bedrooms. I was at least comfortable … despite practising grammar and having a sore throat!

Eu sou uma mulher.
My first lesson of portuguese went very well. After a bit of practice I'll write a letter to Neymar.
