"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."

When you say что is never followed by a noun, are you including pronouns? Because I'm pretty sure I've seen "что ты думаешь“ or something similar in a duo lesson
«Что ты думаешь» is fine, nothing to do with the pronoun—a noun can go there too, though it's a little weird to ask someone what a third person is thinking. Like «Что кошка думает?» isn't grammatically wrong.
When @wizwisdom talks about words following что and какой, that doesn't necessarily refer to the word immediately after. It's about pairing grammatically. Like it would be wrong to say *«Что твой любимый язык?» because что is failing to match with язык.
This sentence hits the difference between the English and Russian pairs: what vs. which is all about choosing from a fixed set, but что vs. какой is about whether it pairs grammatically with a noun later in the sentence.

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
nouns(Что?), adjectives(какой?который?). An answer to the question какой твой любимый язык? is adjective.
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.

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?".
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.
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.

Хинди Руси - пхай-пхай! (This from soviet children book, may be meaning "indian-russian friendship". Or no? I don't know hindi.)
Another sentence was, Какой у вас любимый язык? There is no у in this one. The difference?
In one of the other questions it said I had a typo by saying an у is required. -> Какой у вас любимый язык?
Is the у not required for the ты form?
I think you can use ваш or у вас (and твой or у тебя in the singular / unformal form) for possession. I really prefer the possessive pronoun, closer to my native language. The form with "y" implies the genitive case, it's the equivalent of the verb "to have". So the sentence would be something like "what favorite langage do you have ?"
No. In Как вас зовут, зовут is the 3rd person plural conjugation of the russian verb "to call", so it's "How does they call you", and it's вас because it's accusative. To ask literally "What is your name", you should ask "Какой ваше имя" or "Какой твоё имя"
Would it make sense to translate this to, "What language do you like?" Спасибо!

Телефон ругается на слово favorite, говорит надо favourite. Какая разница (кроме очевидной-написания без/с u) у этих слов?
Смысл один и тот же. Слово favorite только американский вариант. Есть целая куча таких слов, например color, flavor, ....
It means the same. However, the best translation likely to be accepted is the one closest to the one presented, as they may be trying to teach you a grammar form. Your favorite one was not part of the sentence. It was - which is your favorite language. Almost word for word to translate correctly in English. If you add words the robot won't recognize it.

"Эта" is feminine, in this case don't be changed, "моё" is neutral, "родной язык португальский" is masculine - ok. "Это мой родной язык, португальский."
