Not counting the languages I'm comfortable with (English, French, Spanish, German and Italian), I should start the list with two languages I've started:
Portuguese

That leaves me with eighteen:
Greek

Mandarin
Korean
Japanese
Arabic
Hebrew
Czech
Dutch
Thai
Latin
Swahili
Yoruba
Dutch
This list is in no particular order.

I knew I was forgetting one! What's it say about a person when they list twenty languages to learn and still can't think of them all?
