Mine would be:
1. Swahili (one of many beautiful African languages, sounds exotic, and I've always had an interest in the countries where it's used 2. Pashto (not well known beyond its native speakers) 3. Hausa (another African language that interests me) 4. Igbo 5. Yoruba 1 person has voted this message useful | |

If I could magically become fluent, my choices would be:
Arabic French Russian Spanish and one of either Japanese, Portuguese, or Italian This is mostly based on being able to enjoy the humanities - the poetry, the novels, the operas, and the movies - in their native tongues. Except for Portuguese, which would be all about the men ... though I'm sure there are some good books in Portuguese too. In reality? I really am hoping to be functional in five more languages by the age of 50. But my real life choices are to be fluent in: French Spanish functional in: Arabic Turkish Italian or Portuguese Edited by kanewai on 10 December 2011 at 6:45am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, these are what I'm actually aiming for in real-life, but if I can get a sprinkling of fairy dust to help me on my
way, I won't object: German Russian French Spanish Finnish Also, Estonian would be on there, but I'm going to learn that magic or not, so I figured I'd leave it off the list. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |
