learn spanish w/ me so I can communicate w/ peruvians in dota
From my perspective it just seems to teach you words and phrases, not how certain languages actually work.
As long as course authors know English

Well cherry there's a difference between the apple being yours and you having one. Having it implies ownership but doesn't necessarily mean that you actually do own it. Like, I could be borrowing a friends car and could say "I have this car", that doesn't mean it's mine but I still have it, albeit temporarily.
I've been using duolingo to learn french for almost a year at this point, it's good but I use http://french.about.com/od/vocabulary/ a little to help reinforce certain things or just help when I need clarification. I'm nowhere near bilingual though.

Fluent in English and Portuguese, but can speak some French and Spanish and a tiny bit of Greek, German and Italian.
Kind of off topic but my college advisor recommended I take Italian as my second language credit as a prereq for med school. She figures the Latin base would help with understanding medical terminology more. Is this dumb?
Dutch, English, French and German
All are languages you learn here in school. Dutch, French and German are official languages in Belgium, English is something you can't live without these days
Some schools here also allow you to learn Spanish instead of German because German is only spoken by a small amount of people in Belgium
Videogames thaught me more English than school did though

Might as well just do basic online Latin courses and it'll probably help more.
It'd help you understand the terminology a bit better if you decide to study Italian. Not worth it if that's the only use you'll ever have for it though. Spend less time studying actual Latin than you would studying Italian, spend the time you saved studying for med school

Speaking as a med student, don't bother. You'll struggle with some of the terminology for a month or two but you'll get used to it easily. You don't need to know Latin, youll only be using a few dozen terms anyway (facies - face, paries - wall, radix - root, anterior - front, posterior - back, caput - head etc) and if you're American you won't even need those, as most of the terms are anglicized (for example the latin term would be ligamentum cruciatum anterius but the term that american doctors use would be anterior cruciate ligament). So yeah no worries you'll get the hang of it quickly without needing any knowledge of latin

On topic, fluent in English and Polish, was learning German for 6 years and French for 6 years, but I'm mediocre. At the moment I'm trying to teach myself Russian (mostly for for travel purposes) and I pick up some Danish sentences from my Dansk friends :P
Once I master Russian, German and Spanish I can die in peace :)
