I think the question was more about setting up a general wish list of which five you would study _if_ you were to study five and only five, in addition to the ones you already know.
Time will tell whether you will actually get around to studying all of them, or decide it is not worth it.

Italian
German
Swedish (subject to change. I was going to write here British English, but I dont know if that qualifies as a new language since am american and speak English. But I sure would love to learn colloquial English with a British accent. I just love it.)

Hmmm... I'd have to say
1) Russian - already studying!
2) Dutch
3) Polish/Croatian (I can't decide between the two)
4) Swedish
5) German
Roughly in that order. Subject to change without warning.

Besides Spanish and French, which I've already learned fairly well:
1) Polish
2) Armenian
3) Russian
4) Greek
5) Persian
I doubt I'll ever make it to numbers 4 and 5, but it's nice to dream.
