Strangely enough I feel the same. I have never liked the sound of french at all and unfortunately the only explanation I can find for myself is the terrible stereotype of it sounding pompous and snobby. I do like listening to french jazz though, sung, the language seems so much more beautiful. So, in conclusion, I think French would be the last language i'd learn. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For me it's Spanish, I have no interest in the Spanish-speaking countries, I'm Brazilian, so I can already communicate with a Spanish-speaker without having to think about properly learn it, and I don't like how it sounds.

Maybe It's German. Because many German people can speak English, so I don't need to learn it, to talk with them.

Klingon. Why should I learn the language of a barbarous, aggressive and fictional empire?
More seriously, I don't rule any language out, but as there are over 3,000, I will never have the time to learn most of them... 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I've always found Russian terrifically ugly...and I really don't like anything with the Cyrillic alphabet. Russian, then anything else using Cyrillic.

You genuinely find it less pleasing to the ear than mandarin? Fascinating... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't think I'll be learning Esperanto until I've learned a few aboriginal sign languages, just out of principle. :)

I would have to say that Hungarian and Icelandic would be among the last languages I would learn, simply because most people that speak them these days also speak other languages and the languages themselves are notorious for being exceptionally difficult.
