With winter and new lockdowns coming, it's a good idea to occupy your mind with learning something new. Something useful. Something cool.
And what's a better skill than learning a new language?
I dove deep into the statistics this morning to figure out which language are the most popular for those learning at home. That's why I looked for the numbers of searches of 'learn insert language' and summed them up for the U.S and the world in general.
You can sort the table by U.S or world by clicking on the category you want to show up on top.
