    I absolutely must learn French (it sounds so sexy and romantic, plus I have a good friend who lives in France and would love to be able to communicate with her in her language) Also ASL, American Sign Language. I am learning that currently.

    I am learning ASL. I'm almost done with my third class (out of four). I'm also currently teaching my 8 month old to sign as well. I speak broken French and I'd love to brush up on that. I also really want to learn Spanish! I'll probably take some classes once I finish grad school.

    I would love to re-gain my modest command of Japanese, and then become fluent. ("Use it or lose it," is what happened.) German as well - I took 4 years in high school and 1 semester in college and did pretty well, but again, never used it after that.

    I would also love to learn: Spanish, French, Chinese (either Mandarin or Cantonese), Korean, Russian, Italian, Arabic, Latin, Greek...

    Basically, just about any language I can get my hands on. If I ever win the lottery, I'm quitting my job to just take college-level language classes. And then travel to the countries that use those languages - see the sights, try the food... It would be AWESOME.

    I took and ASL course years ago and was certified level 1 interpreter. As they say "Use it or lose it" and I have lost most of it. I would love to do another course.
    I want to learn German, as I am a German citizen but grew up in the US so lost all of that too. Although I do think it is in there in my brain I just have to trigger it.

    I would love to learn german so I can speak to my grandpa in his native language and I would also love to learn Cherokee since I am predominently cherokee and when I get registered I'd like to speak the language of my people. I want to learn French and spanish and italian because of many reasons. I also want to learn asl because I have deaf family and I used to know it but forgot.

    I speak English and Russian. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and that has stuck with me though I'm not fluent. I'd like to fully learn Spanish (which my work will pay for) and then go for Italian because they're pretty similar. All in due time. :drinker:

    Would love to, but I think I'd really have to go live in that country for it to be effective. I studied Italian for 5 years and when I finally got to Italy I understood nothing for at least 24 hrs. After that I could somewhat follow people who spoke very slowly, as if I was both deaf and mentally challenged! :D

    I studied Japanese nd French in high school. My French is good enough to get by on holidays, but i should brush up as were off to France in 2 weeks.
    SO and i studied German up to Gcse level, so thats fairly good, but we haven't been to a germo country in a. Few years.

    And yes i did study Esperanto while in high school/ uni. W even had our own group.
    I will say that its a very good language to learn, as its simple, and for native English speakers its a good way to learn grammar that will be assumed ith learning alot of other languages.
