My current native language is Russian. I wouldn't trade it for anything - it's pretty cool.

Well, I want to become a Pilot, and since all ATC is done in english I'll keep it. Though if my Career goals were different, maybe Chinese or Japanese.

Gnommish from Artemis Fowl. If you understand it, you understand every language in existence (including dog apparently).

Not really, no. Only if I actually moved to another country. Speaking Dutch would be fairly pointless in brazil - I'd trade it for portugese in that instance.

Exchange Dutch for a useful language? Where do I sign?

I'll still have English as a internet language and I'll be able to go to more than just English speaking countries on holidays. I'm thinking Spanish or maybe Chinese or Japanese. I can manage well enough in German and French already, so I've got most of Europe covered.

where do you people find this stuff?
Lol, it's just a random fiction book I read when I was 14 or so. Good book though, I would recommend it.

Hmmm, although I do enjoy the verbal dexterity that English allows, I'd like to speak Russian.

Nah. Almost any language is easier to learn than English and most are not as useful. Maybe Chinese, but my particular scholarly interests would require a knowledge of english and my failure at languages in general would prevent me from unlearning it because it would be so hard to relearn.
This is so not true

English is actually THE easiest language to learn (There's been research on that)

Anyway Dutch for spanish (See I would be able to keep english as Both were learned through the same manner)
I highly doubt that butt-fucked lingual combination of Germanic roots, Latin, French and whatever else we could throw together is significantly easier to learn than, say, Spanish that has had relatively little non-Latin originated phrases thrown in over the course of centuries.

native language means the one you were brought up with? If so, I'd trade my Gaelic(second language of my father) which I'm not to good in anyway, with Japanese.
