Не говорите так по-русски, не понятно)
"Мой любимый язык - русский! Бабушка, дай мне шоколад"
Последнюю фразу я не поняла
What's the differene between что and какой(and its variations, if there are any)?
Что and какой both mean "what". As a loose rule, какой means "which". The correct rule is that if a noun follows "what", use какой. If no noun follows "what", use что.
As a memory aid, the following noun's gender and number change какой. Какой precedes masculine nouns, какая precedes feminine nouns, какое precedes neuter nouns, and какие precedes plural nouns. Because что is never followed by a noun, it only changes form in different cases. If you just want to "get by," always use что for "what."

I believe if I'm not mistaken that какой is more along the lines of "which." So basically, "which language is your favorite" is how I interpret it
Нет. Это предложение можно переписать как "Какой язык твой любимый?" (и это звучит лучше). Вопросительное слово "какой" относится к существительному.
Примеры. "Что ты любишь больше: русский или английский?", "Какой язык ты любишь больше: русский или английский?".
"Какой город твой любимый? (= "Какой твой любимый город?").
"Какая одежда тебе нравится?"
"Какое вино ты предпочитаешь?"
"Какие фрукты ты ешь?"
So, this is not a direct translation, i have no idea what that says! But this is ehat someone else posted up above. Что, is only used if no noun follows the word 'what'. The word Какой is the masculine form, какая is the feminine form, какое is the neuter form and какие is the plural form. The word Какой is used when there is the word 'what' followed by a noun. This is not my work, itd what someone else said, so i take no credit!
Немецкий, Иврит, французский, русский, испанский, хинди, арабский, китайский - должен я идти дальше?
Cause Music is my language and the world is mi familia!! Sorry, I listen to Coco often.

I was thinking the opposite. It's so advanced, it's out of place in a beginning module on Russian adjectives, so I might just skip the discussion entirely, bookmark the page, and come back later when I"ve learned enough to understand it.

Just wanting to clarify something, if you're asking "What is your favourite music?", would it be "Какая твоя любимая музыка?"?
Yes, it's right. Also "какУю мУзыку ты лЮбишь" = what (kind of) music do you love. (Какую = какая+винительный падеж, sorry, I can't remember proper English names for cases >_<)
I'm just learning too, but this looks good to me! Except i think you might mean "какие языки ты знаешь?".

So far, I like Italian the best, because it has so many fun and entertaining words and is so lyrical in pronunciation. Russian is a lot more challenging, so it has greater interest in that way.
Polish is. Not because im Polish, (and speak it fluently), but because its a interesting laguage
"What language do you like" was not an acceptable answer, apparentl, which is silly.

That's a perfectly good English restatement of the translation given by Duo. Was it not accepted? I'd report it if that were the case.
Can anyone explain the difference between какой etc. And что. How do we differenciate between them? Thanks.
A pesar de ser colombiano, considero que el portugués es el idioma más bello que existe. Adoro la manera en que suena, es muy melodioso.

Where does какой come from? I found a declension table for it at:
http://masterrussian.com/vocabulary/kakoi_what.htm
It appears to be what you want to use when asking "what/which" when attached to a word as a kind of adjective. Что doesn't act as an adjective.
Apparently, there is also такой (such a)
