Not yet... There are sooo many languages to learn! But I have a few in mind...
Let's see...

"Done": German, English, Spanish, French, Italian
"Working on": Portuguese, Russian, Dutch
"Let go?": Esperanto, Guarani
"Considering": Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Swedish, Norwegian, Romanian, Romansh

I don't care if people tell me I focus too much on European languages, or the "classical"
ones. I see what happens if you speak an uncommon language such as Guarani (uncommon
language = lack of practise = lose it). Learning languages just for fun is nice, but
currently I simply don't have the time schedule to do things just for fun. ;-)

This lady
has probably spoken 11 languages well in her lifetime. I think this video that hasn't been rehearsed or edited. My
favorite kind.

We also have our own Lingua who claims fluency in 10 languages and intermediate level in an 11th. Unfortunately, she doesn't visit the forum any longer.
