Personally, I love Russian. Mainly because the swearing is amazingly brutal and the fact that I can actually speak it!

I won't vote, because I'm not from a english-speaking country.

My native language is Portuguese, and I speak english, took classes of Japanese and Italian, worked with an Uruguayan (Spanish speaking) and want to learn Russian, German and French. :D

I bet no one is gonna say "Portuguese" as his/her favorite... *sad*

French.
Because it's a fluent free flowing language, that makes you feel like you're having sex with the words. I love it.
This is only based on my hearing French, I have no knowledge of the actual language other than the basics I got during my studies in Latin.
So yea, French.

maybe that's because it's pretty close to Spanish, which more people talk, so that will be heard more often. I think.

Russian is refreshing to learn,since you have to prononce every letter one after the other,instead of looking for syllables like in latin and germanic languages.
It's also a good compromise between a new language that ressembles my first language and other,more complicated to learn languages,like Chinese.New letters and notions,but it still remains possible to learn alone.

Anyone who says French should think twice,it's filled with horrible rules and exceptions that make no logical sense,just for the litterary "beauty",that outsiders to the language don't generally know about.

Well, I could say English, but most would poke me funnily/look at me funnily for it... (WHAT? I'm Swedish! =.=") Also I speak English as good as my native language, so it doesn't really feel like a foreign language to me.

So... It's a tie between Indonesian and Japanese.

Indonesian because it sounds plain awesome if you ask me. Also that person speaks it, and if that person speaks something it's awesome. End of argument.

Japanese because... *points towards a whole bunch of totally epic Anime/Manga of complete awesomeness* Yea... Because THAT.

English, because its a versatile language and because there are countless cool accents all over the world.

EDIT: Welp, double post. Sort of.

English.
I can speak it pretty damn well.
After that it's a three way tie between french, italian and icelandic.
Out of those three I can only speak french, but I want to learn the other two.

I like Latin. It's a completely useless, dead language, but it still sounds absolutely awesome. My grandfather is fluent in it.

I'd have to say English.
To me that's a foreign language and the one I know best. Not to mention it's a good solid language with lots of nuance.
Also quite fond of German and I do love the way spanish sounds spoken proper.

Yes, and there are people who think Portuguese is the same as Spanish... they don't know they are completely different! It's like you say Japanese is the same as Mandarin!

That kind of thought makes me sad.

There is a language I respect! Yes, it is a dead language, but, aside being the mother to other languages and a language with a big complexity in its simplicity, it's just so awesome how it sounds! Each word spoken in latin have some kind of magic (It's a kind of magic! One dream one soul, one prize, One goal... ops), and not some because of the religion or other, let's say, external factor. It just is!

French, German or Japanese.

It sounds so slick when a French man talks naturally.

German, because I'm swedish and studying german aswell, so I've a easy time understanding it (well, some of it)

Japanese, because I can understand some, and it's easy to pronounce. They never have two consonants between each other (And if they do, they don't pronounce both of them).
