I personally am very interested in Euskara (basque). It is a language isolate, and the last remaining descendent of the pre-indo-european languages of Western Europe.

I know Danish and English. A little bit of Spanish, Portuguese and Icelandic.
I'm learning English and Spanish right now.
I'm making medium progress.
I'm planning to learn fluent Portuguese when I end my Spanish classes.
Duolingo was useful for me. Listening to music in the language you're learning and reading the lyrics on www.lyricstranslate.com is also useful and a fun way to learn.

I know Irish and English. I tried to learn Polish because of my girlfriend, but that ship crashed and burned. I'm looking into doing Erasmus in France to brush up on my french though.

My dad is from Iceland and my family is from there so I always heard it. It's a lot like Danish, just more old nordic.
It's complicated to learn because for an example in my town the Icelandic classes are really bad. There are no apps where you can learn it. And whenever I'm there I don't practice it very much because everybody there speaks English and a little Danish.
But if it's difficult, I don't know.. If you know a germanic language, preferably a Scandinavian one, it definitely makes it much easier because it's alike.
I'm trying to learn Japanese,but verb conjugation and syntax are a bit confusing to me.
