In addition to my mother tongue German, I'd choose these ones:
1. English (very important, useful, already learnt a bit) 2. French (unavoidable for learning some of the languages below, already learnt a bit at school, too) 3. Swedish: (nice language and a nice country) 4. Indonesian/Malay (There are 240 Mill. people who speak this language and its dialects after all. Moreover it is quite easy. I wonder if you can write this language in Javanese script?) 5. Spanish (Quite useful and not too difficult) 6. Finnish (A very different language and in my opinion a good country to emigrate to) 7. Farsi (Not too difficult due to the fact it's an Indo-European language and contains nice Arabic script) 8. A Celtic language (Welsh or a Gaelic one) (Very interesting) 9. Chinese (or Icelandic) (Quite useful for the future I guess, a good language to show of with^^) 10. Hindi/Urdu (the main language of Pakistan and India, alien script(s)) Edited by Zorndyke on 24 December 2007 at 10:23am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Not as far as I know. I'm interested in it because it's spoken in the region of Sierra Leone in which my mom worked/lived back in the day. Being named after the country and interested in linguistics really sparked my interest. :)

Zorndyke my feelings about Finnish and Finland are identical. I hope I can tackle it eventually, preferably by emigrating there (with language not being the main reason to do so).
I have no special desire to learn German, but I realise it could be a gateway to other languages, like Dutch or Norwegian. I wouldn't learn them the other way around because difference in availability of textbooks and speakers of these languages in Poland is tremendous. I get to excited when I plan ahead more than one language. I have German and Japanese started, concentrating on French right now (in which I'm aiming high, I want to get a scholarship to France in few years :P ) edit: spelling Edited by Kubelek on 08 March 2006 at 5:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Mende was a language I wanted to learn about 10 years ago - after I watched Amistad.
(It was Mende in that film wasn't it? I'm not certain) 1 person has voted this message useful |
