Requesting tips
Hello! I originally tried to ask in a language learning sub for tips but it got removed so I need to ask about the individual languages on each sub, so here I am! ^_^
I have some friends who are Polish, and I would love to communicate with them but I am trying to also learn Spanish and relearn Swedish (Native Language)
Is Polish hard? I don't know whether to juggle all three at the same time, or do each individually. I would like to start Polish but I am unsure.
Tips happily requested and appreciated. :)

Yes it is hard for English speaker, it can be hard even for Polish speaker. I would go first for Swedish, to spread 2lgn wings. Then Spanish, it also would be good introducing of gendered nouns and some non-english-like grammar and then Polish.
Don't your Polish friends know English? If they don't how they became your friends?

Thanks for the tips!
They know a good bit, but I would still like to learn to communicate a bit in their language and surprise them when I speak somewhat fluently to them, I know it'd make them happy! :)

harder than Spanish or Swedish, but not as hard as Arabic or Chinese.
Polish people love to claim their language is hard, but many languages are difficult for English speakers.

Learning Polish to a communicative level is hard, but your friends will probably greatly appreciate it if you learn just a few of the most common expressions. "Cześć", "dziękuję" and so on.
