Well, my native language is English and I'd like to perfect my French. Anything else I
would be starting from scratch; French Italian(or Portuguese) Dutch(or Norwegian) Russian Japanese The last three are just for some diversity, I think if I could only learn 5 additional languages, I'd want a lot of variation :) I'd also love to shove Arabic in there somewhere!

My native tongue is Cantonese, and my English is pretty much at ILR Level 4 or 4+. If I
were to learn 5 to native fluency, they'll be: Russian German French Arabic Hindi I would like to have diversity. With these 7 languages I would have got the most of mankind. Ah... it's just a dream. I'll be more than delighted even if I can somehow manage to get them all to Level 3+, which means I can use them quite fluently, study with them and actually read them.

I'm not sure if I have already posted in this thread (actually, I should go and check it - it could be interesting to find out what my plans were a long time ago).
For now: I speak five languages: Polish (native), English, German, French and Spanish and I would love to speak all of them better. Apart from them, the three languages I'd like to reach fluency in are: Swedish Dutch Russian Not sure about the other two... Maybe Norwegian, Danish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian or Czech. Or languages from another language groups (Finnish, Hungarian or Arabic would be the most probable choice). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Since I am not fluent in any other language, I would like to be in the following (if they
were the only 5 I could study) Hungarian Russian Serbo-Croatian Mandarin Arabic To me, these are the most practical (for me), so this is why I would like to learn these 5. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

:-) I did it for you and it was easy enough since your initial answer and the revision in 2009 is on the first page of this thread.
--- As for me, my set of five languages is a little different now from what they were in 2006.
Let Finnish now replace Mongolian. Edited by Chung on 14 March 2013 at 5:34am 2 persons have voted this message useful |
