      I would like to shape up my Portuguese to the point I can speak it properly again, as years of living in the UK has pretty much destroyed my lingual abilities.

      Though for new languages to learn, Japanese and German. Because both sound deliciously awesome, Japanese for the exotic, and German for the shit-scary factor.

      You know, I think it would be really interesting to learn the language of my ancestors, called Miscif - dialect of the Metis.

      I want to learn French first of all, it's a beautiful language. Second is a toss up between Japanese and Spanish, I really do like both of those languages.
      When I was in high school I was very ambitious, I wanted to be the Class President but I missed out by only about 3 votes.

      So they made me the Class Secretary of Defence.

      I want to become fluent in Russian (move beyond "passible") and then move on to another language. I know Spanish well enough to where I could survive, but I don't think I'd be great in a long conversation.

      I want to learn Japanese next and then I'd like to learn Farsi and some African dialect. One of my life goals is to study a language from every major language group

      Anyway, now that I think of it, German seems rather intesting. Mainly because of the way it looks.

      i think it would be kool to learn japanese cause its such an intresting language and it would be great to go to japan and be able to say "hey you, I said no salt on my noodles!" or somthing like that. however living in australia the language you would learn im most public schools is indonisian, it being australia's neighbour country. so i speak alot of indonisian (studyed for 4 years+).

      Hooray, yet another thread for me...

      I have an agenda of five or so main languages to learn in my lifetime:

      German: I am quarter German myself, plus, the language is very closely related to Old English (which I also like). Those who say "German's such an angry language" have obviously never heard a native German or Austrian speak the language (other than the old videos of Hitler's speech - anyone who dislikes the language because of WWII needs to hurl himself off a cliff, effective immediately!). Anyway, there is absolutely nothing harsh-sounding about it when spoken like a normal, everyday average Joe... or Jörg, as the case may be.

      Dutch: I am a quarter Dutch as well. Plus, it's very much similar to German and modern English (cognates, cognates, everywhere you look!). Therefore, I would like to learn it. When you get right down to it: if you think German's "harsh-sounding", Dutch is at least 10 times worse with all the gutturals (that's "loogie-hocking sounds" in layman's terms).

      Spanish: I live on the west coast in the United States, so Spanish would really be beneficial to me. And there's the fact that I'm half Mexican. It was the first language I took a class in and is what got me interested in foreign languages. It's a much better-sounding Romance language than French in my opinion (the relationship between spelling and phonetics actually makes sense in Spanish! What a notion!).

      Italian: Perhaps an even better romance language than Spanish (which makes it way better than French by default). Like because Dutch is so similar to German, I'm learning this one because it's so similar to Spanish. And it's just plain cool - almost like learning Latin but without the annoying case endings.

      Russian: Russian is just the coolest. It's pronunciation is very much like a mixture between Spanish and English and it has a sweet alphabet. Unlike people who somehow still think the Soviet Union is still deadlocked with the U.S. in a Cold War, I'm able to look past that ancient history BS and see how awesome the Russians and their culture really are.

      I plan to visit each of these countries someday.

      I might also learn Japanese (might), simply out of the need to take a language class with my good friend Slip... otherwise, I find it to sound annoyingly bouncy - and the grammar is unnecessarily complex. Plus the dialogue in anime is really quite atrocious to an American's ears, no matter how you translate it.

      The only reason people say German sounds "angry" is because it is "better suited" to that way of speaking. You can be angry in French, or Spanish, and you can be romantic in German, but if you had to pick a language to describe anger it would probably be the gutteral and halting language of German.

      I think Russian and Czech sound much angrier but then again I'm German so I wouldn't know.

      @Topic: Now that I've set sails on a linguistic career, I'm going for Russian, Japanese and French. Later Spanish and Swedish will follow.

      Russian is a beautiful language! It can sound angry when the speaker is angry, but overall it's just kind of like an English speaker trying to speak backwards.

      It's intuitive and scales OKish. Speech recognition is OK, the exercises make sense. It's straight-forward and practice-oriented, but from my own experience, if you have any sort of analytical or grammatical interest in a language you should buy a couple of books with it.
      Also, if you're getting this legally, you'll have to pay quite the price. I don't know about other places, but for that kind of money you can get a full package with several books, CDs and DVDs for a language here that will enable you to learn from different sources and whereever you want.

      It's interesting how we pick up the speech patterns of languages to the point where we can make gibberish words that sound like the language.

      I've tried to form a linguistic pattern that'' seasier to speak when inhaling than when exhaling! (unsuccessfully)

      Japanese- so I can play freaking non-import games, vacation in Japan, and become a translator.
      Spanish- Because of the number of people in the US wh only speak spanish, because I am 1/4... castillian, I think, I still haven;'t gotten a clear answer on that, so I can become a translator, and so I can vacation in northern spain/southern france.
      French: so I can become a translator, and so I don;t have to make sure I always have an english-french dictionary every time I go to canada or (ior the aforementioned area in france), just in case I end up in quebec.
      German: because it's a realy nice-sounding language (in music, at least, WWII movies and comedy sketch doublespeak notwithstanding), and again my goal to become a translator.
      mandarin chinese- translator.
      russian- again, translator.
      latin- this time, simpy for fun, becaus no one is going to speak primarily latin anyway. I may learn italian, too.

      I like to speak Spanish because it seems everyone around me can speak Spanish. And yes, Russian would be cool.

      I want to become fluent in Spanish. I've studied it for more than five years, and can no longer study it... I want to go abroad and use what I've learned so that I'll feel more comfortable speaking it.

      Also, Chinese. But the courses offered are 7 credits, which is auto-overload on my tight schedule! Chinese will be extremely useful in the future, as China further develops. But with the tones and the wierd symbols, it'll take forever to learn independently. That, and I'll be rooming with a Chinese lady soon. So far, I know how to say "Hello, how are you?" XD

      Spanish- I would love to be able to freely speak and fully comprehend Spanish, I have taken 4 years of it in highschool and I was pretty good at it, but its not the comprehension I want, I need a lot more.

      Then German, to repay all of the Germans who have spoken fluent English too me, I don't know how they know English so well(the ones I have met atleast), but they do and because of that, I would like to learn their language and be able to speak it to them.
