Spanish
Esperanto French ASL and then, since this is a fantasy, Mandarin. Those languages are the ones I'd expect to be potentially useful for interacting with other based on where I live and the fact that I'm not really wanting to travel to other countries. I don't know that I'll go past learning French in this lifetime based primarily on practicality. But one never knows. Maybe after French, I'd have the hang of how to learn "easy" languages.

*back from my few weeks' absence*
Not sure how possible perfect fluency in another 5 languages is but my 5 would be : 1) Dutch (would make my life easier here in the Netherlands!) 2) French (for work purposes) 3) Japanese (for work and pleasure) 4) Basque or Georgian (just for fun and because they're fairly hard languages to learn) 5) Ancient Greek (would love to read Homer in the original) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

German, French, Spanish, Russian, Swedish.
I set a pesonal goal to have a good proficiency in three languages by the time I graduate from university...so i have two more years to learn the first three! But German is already 75% there, and French 50% there. I do a bit of Swedish when i have time...but Russian...that will just have to wait a few more years, that language needs all my concentration and effort! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For me, because it's spoken in more countries than Egyptian Arabic. Also because I'd like to visit Lebanon/Palestine someday. For everyone who said it was hard to pick the fifth - me too! I put Japanese, but it's really a three-way tie between that, Portuguese, and German. Edited by lengua on 14 September 2006 at 5:53pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
