Languages I can already speak fluently:
1. Cantonese
2. English
3. Mandarin
For the 5 languages I want to learn/am already learning, in order of priority/interest:
1. Japanese
2. Spanish
(3. Korean)
(4. French)
(5. German)
I'm already learning the first two on the list and I doubt I'll ever learn the last three.

It's funny, if I had answered this before I gained any language learning experience I would have answered completely differently. For example, I probably wouldn't have looked at Portuguese without first being introduced to Spanish - my interest in Portuguese came from exposure to Brazilians through my university's romance language department, as well as the fact that Portuguese was similar enough that I would get a large boost from Spanish. So even though my list now includes fewer exotic, widely divergent languages, I like to think I might actually learn all of them at some point.
-Spanish (I'd like to get a lot better with different accents and dialects before I'm 'done' with it)
-Portuguese
-German
-French
-Mandarin (maybe, ask me again after I finish the first four...)

Norwegian
Macedonian
Italian
Polish

my native language is turkish and i'm somewhat fluent in English. As of today 5 languages i would like to learn are; Italian, Arabic, German, French and Russian in their respective order. My reasoning depends solely on "feeling". I just love the way those languages sound.

My list is as follows:
Russian
Farsi/Persian*
Tajik(i)
Kazakh
German
I am bilingual in Farsi, but in the "born and raised in America" sense, aka, passive vocabulary is great, but active
vocabulary is something I want to work on (and have been doing!)
I honestly feel content with just this list, but that is what I said before I added Russian, Tajiki, and Kazakh (!!!)
