Maybe I change my way for now :
English
Russian
Modern Hebrew (Aramaic)
Dutch
French
(I'm thinking also in Asian language but not specific one maybe Japanese / Chinese or Korean and also in Polish, and I'm interested in Georgian language 'coz the alphabet , Spanish 'coz Musical Legend Julio Iglesias and surely I'm making important for my country's languages Coptic and Egyptian Hieroglyphs )

Spanish
German
Italian
Russian
French
I'm starting with Spanish as it is not as difficult as some of the others, and I already have several semesters as a background. I feel in love with Germany when I visted a couple years ago, and I would love to spend an extended amount of time there. I'd like to learn Italian, Russian & French for travel as well, but especially for literature . I'd love to be able to read my favorite novels in the original languages.

The top 5 would have to be:
1) Spanish - Due to the high number of hispanics in America, which is where I live.
2) French, German and Irish - My beloved heritage!
5) And throw in Chinese because of the growth of China on the international stage.

French
Spanish
Russian
Mandarin
and Arabic
The top four I already can speak to varying levels and I'm studying Spanish, Russian and Mandarin at Uni from the end of this month.
These are also the official languages of the UN so that should be pretty useful if I can master at least 3 or 4 of them for employment in interpretation and translation :)

1. English. Enough said about this.
2. Russian (Learning). Potential huge economy behind and a beautiful language in itself.
3. Spanish (On my hit list, after Latin). Easy, logical and very useful.
4. Mandarin (On my hit list, probably only after high school). A "Golden Final".
5. German (Learning). Love the culture and history.
