	I probably wouldn't, but if I did, I'd want it to be another language that is considered quite "complex", like Hungarian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese or something. The latter two would also be beneficial in that they'd give easy access to writing systems other than the Latin alphabet. Then again with a new native language would also most likely come a new native land, and since my country's living standards are very high and it's a great place in general, I probably wouldn't want to be born anywhere else. 1 person has voted this message useful

	English and Mandarin? No way; you know why I wouldn't change either of these! :D I'm just a bit sad that my mom didn't become fluent in Japanese (she had parents who spoke it fluently due to the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, and studied it for two years at her university and was praised by her prof). I could've been trilingual since birth :( 1 person has voted this message useful
