Well, my native language is English and I'd like to perfect my French. Anything else I
would be starting from scratch;
French
Italian(or Portuguese)
Dutch(or Norwegian)
Russian
Japanese
The last three are just for some diversity, I think if I could only learn 5 additional
languages, I'd want a lot of variation :)
I'd also love to shove Arabic in there somewhere!

My native tongue is Cantonese, and my English is pretty much at ILR Level 4 or 4+. If I
were to learn 5 to native fluency, they'll be:
Russian
German
French
Arabic
Hindi
I would like to have diversity. With these 7 languages I would have got the most of
mankind. Ah... it's just a dream. I'll be more than delighted even if I can somehow
manage to get them all to Level 3+, which means I can use them quite fluently, study
with them and actually read them.

I'm not sure if I have already posted in this thread (actually, I should go and check it - it could be interesting to find out what my plans were a long time ago).
For now:
I speak five languages: Polish (native), English, German, French and Spanish and I would love to speak all of them better.
Apart from them, the three languages I'd like to reach fluency in are:
Swedish
Dutch
Russian
Not sure about the other two... Maybe Norwegian, Danish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian or Czech. Or languages from another language groups (Finnish, Hungarian or Arabic would be the most probable choice).

Since I am not fluent in any other language, I would like to be in the following (if they
were the only 5 I could study)
Hungarian
Russian
Serbo-Croatian
Mandarin
Arabic
To me, these are the most practical (for me), so this is why I would like to learn these
5.

:-) I did it for you and it was easy enough since your initial answer and the revision in 2009 is on the first page of this thread.

Oh, that's easier for me than "10" thread.
English

German

The last one is kind of difficult, I'm thinking about Russian/Japanese/sth else, ex. Modern Greek.
// EDIT
I've just seen (well, after 2 years or so ;)) that we shouldn't include the language we already have advanced fluency in. My preferences have also changed. My five would probably be...
(English, German)
French
Russian
Czech
Hungarian
Spanish or Swedish or Norwegian |

As for me, my set of five languages is a little different now from what they were in 2006.

Let Finnish now replace Mongolian.
