I am personally learning German right now, and was wondering if anyone else was taking another language.

Tôi học tiếng Việt!
I'm studying Vietnamese. My wife is Vietnamese, and we're taking a two-month trip to visit her parents in two weeks. It'll be my first time over there. I'm really excited about it! Anyway, there are no classes around here, so I'm studying with a book, some CDs, the internet, and practice with my wife and her family, friends, and co-workers.

Yeah Hebrew counts, why wouldn't it?

I think it was the "slowly picking up" part that was considered iffy, not the Hebrew part...

I think they were questioning whether "slowly picking it up" counts as "learning," not whether Hebrew counts as a language.

Well if it's any interest I am planning to do Arabic next
It was meant mainly in jest.
As Gjallarhorn and Splarnst pointed out, it was the speed and process I was in doubt about, not the language. My Hebrew "education" consists of attending services, which are primarily in Hebrew, and struggling along in the prayer book as I go.

German is tough. I'm working on German, French, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.

I'm still learning English. I'm still trying to figure out how to understand and effectively communicate with most people who claim to speak it.

Ditto. I've pretty well mastered Canadian and English. Now, thanks to RF, I am working on Americanese.
But which dialect of Americanese?

Any reason why?

Hebrew is hard. It took me about 6 months just to be able to recognize and read from a siddur. Its hard because of the mix of different alphabet and different ways of saying things.
Good luck
