This is a spin-off of the "10" thread - but harder. The question is, if you could learn only 5 languages to perfect (native) fluency (reading/writing/listening/speaking), in addition to any which you already have a native or advanced fluency in, which five would you choose as of today?
For me... Spanish French Mandarin Arabic Japanese 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The first few are easy, because they're on my hit list:
Arabic Russian Japanese After that, I'd probably pick: Spanish Chaozhou 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hmmm,
Mandarin French Spanish Portuguese Russian But maybe Portuguese and Spanish could count as one language with two dialects. So maybe I'd have to add Arabic to the list instead. Edited by delectric on 14 September 2006 at 7:50am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Oh, that's easier for me than "10" thread.
English Spanish German French The last one is kind of difficult, I'm thinking about Russian/Japanese/sth else, ex. Modern Greek. // EDIT I've just seen (well, after 2 years or so ;)) that we shouldn't include the language we already have advanced fluency in. My preferences have also changed. My five would probably be... (English, German) French Russian Czech Hungarian Spanish or Swedish or Norwegian Edited by Julie on 11 April 2009 at 4:39pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
