I don't have a large number of target languages. So the more funny ones are included here:

1.German - see here [http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4426&PN=1&TPN=6]
2.Japanese - that is largely due to my exposure to Japanese anime since childhood. But I can expect the grammar won't be very fun :P. Anyway, it's still a good choice because I really have a discount in learning.
3.French - like singing
4.Spanish - this is not a cool language, but a very hot one. Hispanian dance and songs should be very chic.
5.Italian - also sounds good. The orthography is also interesting with vowels usually at the end of a word.

The following are languages I've never listened to:
6.Polish
7.Hungarian
8.Czech
9.Russian
These four are my targets because of cultural factors. The first three have connections with my interest in history, German countries. Russian, too, have a huge wealth in Arts subjects. If I am to find materials, Russian is an easier choice because it's still popular in mainland China, though not as popular as French and Japanese, etc.

10. I would say, Mandarin. No p/t/k endings as in Cantonese, based on vernacular language, only 4 tones, lots of homophones, lots of slangs and idioms as interesting as those of Cantonese... a first rate fun language also for non-Asian language speakers.
