Turkish- I've completely fallen in love with this language.
Russian - Love the way it sounds, love the alphabet, love its official feel. Don't particularly care about Russian literature with the exception of Nabokov, but I think knowing Russian would make me feel like putting on dark sunglasses and buying a motorcycle. Farsi - Again, what a beautiful alphabet. I'd love to have some sort of "access" to Iran, and I'm fascinated by Sufism. Reading Rumi, Ghazali, and Hafiz in the original language would be pretty awesome. Hindi - Another great alphabet. No particular reason for this one, really, except greater access to the subcontinent (I know tons of English is spoken there though)... and I have a few friends who speak Hindi or Urdu. Number five, hmmm... Arabic hands down, if I can get over hard it is. I love the Middle East and the sounds of Arabic, and I find it utterly poetic. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I speak English and Mandarin. So my next five would be:
French (Still learning) Arabic (Modern standard, or Egyptian, still deciding) Russian Spanish (A south American dialect) There, that's all the languages of the United Nations. So the final language can be just for fun I suppose. I would pick... German (Still deciding between standard or Austrian, it's a tough choice) And on a side note... It's so great to read the earlier posts made in 2006. Because the languages posted by other users as languages they want to master, are now, in 2010 listed as languages they speak. ^_^ Edited by CheeseInsider on 21 November 2010 at 10:49pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This is such a hard question for an incurable wanderluster, that I've left it until now to come up with a list...but if push came to shove, this would be my current choice (in no particular order):
Russian - a language I should have been speaking at home with my girlfriend for ages now but have been putting off for far too long (I know, I'm a bad bad man - nemolodets). ;) Spanish - I can't help it, I'm in love with the people and the culture (I blame it on la pasión), but I won't deny that it came in very close to Italian. Irish - my heritage, my blessing, my real home. French - my first real crush and dabbling in another language, and just check out all the films, literature, culture and great food...the abundance simply blows me away sometimes! Japanese - I left my heart in Tokyo five years ago and probably spent my happiest and most awake, enlightening moments there.
