Is it correct to say I am having a fling with/at (learning) French. Or is it, at something and with someone? (Thank you in advance since for some reason I'm not receiving any notification)

Great question! Usually we say a fling is with a person or a hobby. A fling is always temporarary. ´´I had a fling with him last year´´. (it means the two people dated briefly) ´´I´m having a fling with learning French´´ (this is not as common, but I have heard similar expressions)
