Learn as in be way fluent in those languages?

English even though English is the only language I can speak for the most part, I still am not on the level of major writers, and cannot understand half of what Thareous writes without referring to Dictionary.com
Arabic this was my second language at birth, but am no longer able to speak it. I can read Arabic just fine, but cannot for the life of me understand the words besides a few basics like "bayt - House" and "baidah - egg". I forgot even the months, days and colors >_>
Japanese importing dem games like SO3DC.
French Romance language, 'nuff said.
Italian see French.
[Latin if it counts, if not then Chinese] one of the origins of the English language, the words look and sound AMAZING.
[Chinese if Latin counts] Most populated place in the world besides the world itself.
Spanish It sounds really, REALLY interesting!

Hmmm If I were to choose 8 Languages they would be:

English: Most countries have English as a mandatory language to learn.

Latin: I don't think it was ever a living language But was always the language of law and science.

Mathematics: The Language of how we relate to the world around us. Used whenever we use logic to solve problems.

Spanish: A useful language here in the U.S.

Swedish: Mainly selfish reasons so I could know what my cousins are saying to each other at family gatherings.

French: useful in parts of Europe and Canada

German: Basis of a few modern languages. Also family related.

ASL: Useful when dealing with deaf people.

As in 8 in addition to what I already know? Well, I'm already fluent in Norwegian and English, so let's see...

1. Japanese
2. Mandarin
3. Norwegian Sign Language (already know some, but not enough to really get by)
4. Brittish Sign Language (cause I travel a lot to the UK and think it would be useful)
5. Elvish
6. Gaelic (just think it would be cool)
7. French (took it for 5 years and I can barely speak it at all)
8. Spanish (would come in handy if I were to travel more than what I do)

1. Hungarian/Magyarul - I currently live in Hungary and it would be very helpful since it is supposed to be on of the hardest languages to learn. Even though i will be returning to the states for good in a month, I am sure I will visit because my parents will still live here.

2. Japanese - I love the culture and they are home to many game companies. I would love to visit someday.

3. Spanish - Where I live in the state, we have a huge Mexican population. I would be helpful

4. Latin - Science and it is the base for a lot of languages

5. Mandarin - It would be helpful from a corporations point of view. It would be impressive on your resume as well.

6. Greek - Its a beautiful language and I love Greece. They're stories and mythology are awesome.

I can't think of 2 more that I really want to know/learn but if I had to add two more it would be German and Swedish.
