The ones he or she wants to.
For me they would be French Russian Hebrew Swedish Dutch (if you consider that I already know this one, then I would replace it with Romanian) Edited by tarvos on 25 August 2013 at 6:03pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm sorry but I have a problem with the question. It's going to be terribly difficult to stay motivated studying a language you have no passion for, and if you have no passion for any language it's going to be difficult to learn one let alone five.

This sounds a lot like the thread “So You Want to Learn 5...”
What I posted in 2006 still applies although nowadays I wouldn't object if Finnish replaced German in the list below.

Also for me these five are different every other month, particularly depending on when
someone is speaking something I don't understand. Like on holiday I heard a lot of Mandarin, and I simply wanted to know Mandarin to figure out what the hell everyone else was saying. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
