Aha:
French, Spanish, Greek, Turkish, Arabic(possibly the lebanese type). The first four are easy, its the fifth one that is hard to choose!! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's such a terrible question! I'd say:
English French German Norwegian Japanese or Finnish (sorry I can't decide yet!) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Japanese
French German Mandarin Arabic* The fifth language changes depending on my mood. Sometimes I think I'd like to be fluent in Portuguese, or Spanish, or Russian… 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like this question much better than the top-10 listing. This forces me to concentrate more and even ends up being useful to myself as a rough kind of roadmap. So, here goes:
Mandarin Japanese Arabic Russian Greek* * Same comment here as the Cap'n: Certainly the last one, and perhaps some of the other ones too, would depend on where my mood takes me. EDIT: The change of mood struck already, though it was more a case of absent-mindedness. Hungarian changed to Greek. I just forgot about Greek when I was writing the list.

Mandarin
English Japanese Korean German * The last is so difficult for a Chinese like me! I actually can't stand the inflections of German and the three genders of it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Korean
Polish Russian Arabic These are four I dream of advanced fluency in. Turkish, Farsi, and Indonesian are all inseparable for me. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

This is a mean post--making me give up some of my babies!
Luckily, you wrote that the languages we are already advanced in don't count... So, here goes: Already know well: English German (I love Germany) Swahili Next five: French Arabic Spanish (I refuse to live in the US without knowing Spanish!) Amharic Kinyarwanda Basically, I want to be able to go all over Africa and communicate with as many people as possible. I'll need a few more than these eight, however, to reach my goal.... 1 person has voted this message useful | |
