    Working on Japanese and Thai. My German is now close enough to fluent, but still needs a lot of work.

    Once I'm quite happy with those, or if I move to a Spanish speaking country, Spanish will be my next one to learn. I spoke it decently a few years ago, and could understand a whole lot - it's pretty simple - but it's not important for me to speak that just yet.

    I do love Asian languages though, so different from the European ones I already know.

    not that many, but they are all "indo-european" languages, so they have the same structure.
    i speak french (obviously), english, spanish, and i have some basic knowledge of italian.
    i dont know any other languages, but i've come to realize that most european languages are pretty close. and i can order a glass of wine in german, and i can say "oh i've heard so much about u" in dutch (random i know).

    japanese, and other asian languages are so different. even the body language is different

    Dia Duit, Conas ata tu inniu? (hello, how're you today?)
    Theres lesson one for you ;)


    If I were going to learn a new language, it would definetly be Spanish. It seems like one of the more useful language in the world, and I've always wanted to visit South America.

    What was you going to do with the Donkey? I would have to agree with Spanish though.

    Well seeing as I live in California, and there are lots of Hispanic's here, I would learn Spanish. Most job's prefer you to be bilingual. Aside from the obvious English language, Spanish is the next most spoken language where I live. Would be good to know to make my job options more open.
