Learning Three Languages
I've been meaning to learn a new language for the longest time. Choosing is hard because there are too many beautiful languages out there, and one can't learn them all. After a lot of thinking, I decided on Italian and Slovak. I'm choosing Italian because it's a romance language (like my native language, Spanish), and I want to know more about this family of languages. Slovak is my other choice because my best online friend is Slovakian, and it would be great to talk to her in her native language.
I'm still learning English (I've been learning it for about three years), and that's why I said ``three languages´´ in the title. I wanted to perfect my English before moving on to a new language, but I felt like it would never be good enough. And, here I am, starting to learn two new languages, and perfecting one.
Italian is easy because it's so similar to Spanish, I can already understand the language, although I'm only three weeks in. Slovak, on the other hand, is very hard, because everything about it feels so alien to me. However, I like it: it's challenging, it's different, and there's a nice rhythm to it, that feels nice in my mouth (if you hear it you might disagree with me). Also, I would like to add that, unlike English, I only want to have a conversational level in these two languages, so I won't try to learn them in depth, like I did with English.
To wrap it up, thank you for reading, and I would really appreciate your feedback on my writing skills.

Great job overall! Your main mistakes seem to be related to punctuation and run-on sentences. In some cases I've broken up your sentences into two or three shorter sentences to make them more understandable and/or to correct them. Also, native speakers (at least where I live) barely ever use colons or semicolons when we write.

Learning Three Languages
I mean I learn one language for a long time, but it's difficult to choose (to pick/ to decide on) another one because there are too many beautiful languages out there, and one can't learn them all. After thinking a lot, I decided on Italian and Slovak: Italian because it's a romantic language (like my native language - Spanish), and I want to know more about this family of languages; Slovak because my best online friend is Slovakian, and it would be great to talk to her in her native language.

Slovak, on the other hand, is very hard, because everything about it feels so alien to me. However, I like it: it's challenging, it's different, and there's a nice rhythm to it, that feels (sounds) nice to my ears and mouth (if you hear it you might disagree with me). Also, I would like to add that, unlike English, I only want to have a conversational level in* these two languages, so I won't try to learn them in depth, like I did with English.

*I am not sure about in or at here, but I would use in here because at I would use talking about something like classes or disciplines.
I am not a native speaker but I hope it helps you.
