If you could pick one new language to know as if a native speaker, what'd it be?

I personaly want to know Japanese.

Ask for another and it'll added, but for now its just a few.

I speak English, French, and Spanish, as well as a limited speaking ability of Catalan, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian. I'd like to perfect my Italian and Portuguese, as well as learn Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian, and Swahili.

The more, the merrier, right?  I could get by in French and Spanish at various times and I can understand more than a little Italian but German and Japanese intrigue me.

I went for latin as you can use it to make an educated stab at the meanings of words in western European languages which descend from it.

If I had to choose one only, then it would be Russian.  Then it would be Japanese.

I speak Portuguese (my mother tongue) and a somewhat terrible English  ;D! I would like to learn Italian because my ancestors where all Italians, capisce? I would like to learn Russian because I would love to read Dostoievski on the original  ;) and, as a lover of animes and mangas, I would love to learn Japanese!

I want to know Spanish better than I do.  And polish up my German.

But the one I would really like to learn is Klingon.  P'tak!

I use to know a fair amount of Russian and German. Haven't spent any time with either for years. I plan to work on my Russian again at some point.

Being Canadian I know Francais and of course English. My mother tongue is Italiano. I know some Spanish as well. I would love to learn Japanese as the Japanese culture fascinates me.

I know English and Spanish, and am beginning to learn French, however, if I could choose to know any other language, I would choose sign language by far. Either that or knowing French or Chinese as they are interesting languages that are commonly used.

Since Japanese is probably pretty obvious choice, I went with Korean. I'm a shameless k-pop fanboy.
But Japanese would be quite nifty to know, too.

Then again, English is already a foreign language to me. :P Plus I'm supposed to know Swedish but... yeah. I've forgotten majority of it.

Oh yeah, I also tried learning Skyrim's dragon language. |D It was kinda hard because the vocabulary is lacking so many words.

Oooo. I love languages and linguistics. :)

I am fluent in English and Spanish (my dad had a zero English policy at home).  I took a semester long course in college and learn a bit of portuguese. It is a beautiful language. I'd love to learn it. Very similar to Spanish. I also looove seeing my telenovelas (soaps)from Brazil.

I'd also love to learn arabic, maybe the kind spoken in Jordan, Syria, or Israel.

I am currently learning the Eastern dialect of Arabic, and Punjabi. I'd love to learn Navajo.
