    Hmm, Spanish would definitely be the most practical...so, Spanish.

    But, I would love to learn Arabic, or Hindi. I think Indo-Arabian languages are really pretty (Must be all the J-sounds). Plus I find alot of the throat sounds strangely sexy.

    French is a pretty language too...Oh, and that one they speak in Beowulf! I remember Angelina Jolie's character speaking it, and just thinking how hot it was!

    I want to become fluent in German since I've had 3 and half years of education in it now. Italian, Norwegian so levy can laugh at me, and then an Asian language most likely Japanese.

    That's Danish/Old Norse.

    I wish I could speak French. Only, I wouldn't ever need it unless I move to France.

    Japanese for now! ^^ But one language I'd love to learn is Latin... still is harder than German ;__; and my German literature teacher yesterday told us Swedish and Hungarian is a lot worse because they have more declinations ;_; knowing how to speak 4 languages is good enough for me ^^

    I've heard Japanese is easy to learn spoken, but difficult written.

    I've heard Latin is difficult because of its case system. German uses this too, like der > den > dem > des etc.

    I can speak very little French and German. I'd like to be able to speak Spanish, but I'm absolutely useless at learning languages. I studied French for 3 years and still know a very little amount.

    Yes, Latin is very complicated. I wish I had it for more than one year so that I could get more into it, because it's actually really interesting.

    yes and me being portuguese most time the words are not very bad to understand becasue some portuguese words are a develop latin! ^^ Still japanese is hard for me to learn because I can't afford to pay particular classes in faculty Still german is hard, latin as well, portuguese might not have declinations but it has ponctuation and complicated verbs XD It takes a looooong time to actually be able to speak in a certain language and me being in the future a language teacher I can still remember how terrible I was in English when I was 12 XD

    I don't find German to be that hard

    (just kidding, I can imagine how hard it must be to learn German.)

    I would like to learn Japanese, mainly to be able to understand Japanese games, but also to be able to talk to Japanese people. I'd also like to learn Malay, but it's next to impossible to find a course or anything So instead I'm learning the closest language available, Indonesian.

    Fluent German would be wonderful. I'm working on it, but if I could magically ALREADY speak it, I could move on to learning Japanese already. <3

    I didn't have a choice over which language I was made to learn for 3 years in school, I was given French, and I liked it for the first two years, but I hated it in the third. I learnt a bit Spanish as we were a top set so we were allowed to be taught another language, it was like 4 lessons French, 1 lesson Spanish every week or so. I always remember 'grenouille!" and "un yaourt!'. They were fun to say

    I know the Spanish alphabet, I can't remember the French one.

    I learnt more Spanish when I actually went to Spain several times on holidays, I can say 'Can I have the bill, please?' and 'How much is that?' and things like that

    I'd love to be fluent in Finnish, but it's meant to be one of the most difficult to learn as it's just so unique, so screw that.
