I'd like to learn Mandarin and also have interest learning Russian, Arabic and Spanish, but don't really know where to start. I know apps like Duolingo and Mango exist, but are those the best options? Would I be best off taking a class? To my multi-lingual comrades, where should I start?

Edit: Thanks for all the great replies everyone! I have a lot of resources to look into now.

I'm also learning mandarin (and spanish). The comprehensible input method I've found is really the best and simplest way. You can read about it and why it works from the ppl over at dreamingspanish.

For Mandarin I highly recommend https://www.vidioma.com/ . Videos are categorized by difficulty, and it keeps track of what ones you've already watched.

For Spanish, dreamingspanish.com . They do a phenomenal job and have hundreds of entertaining videos on so many topics and difficulties.
