I already speak, read and write English, Afrikaans and Japanese, and know enough French and Italian to get by, plus enough Gaelic to swear (I mean what else would you use it for?).

I'd probably go for Mandarin Chinese, although it seems a bit of a waste since a lot of the Japanese and Chinese kanji (pictograms) overlap, so perhaps I'd go for Russian because it just sounds badass.

Korean is also on my to-do list in the next couple of years, right after Chinese and Russian.

P.S. Japanese doesn't sound as cool as you think. It just sounds cool because all the anime voice actors are 1 in a million people especially trained to sound cool. It's like judging English by the English you've heard from trained Hollywood actors.

Either Russian, Japanese, or Spanish. I am taking College Spanish right now and am bad at it.

Binary, it would be really funny.

But in honesty probably German\Russian simply because they sound cool.

(No one has said it yet?!?! Fine, Klingon...someone had to.)

Japanese so I can play ALL the games that get released instead of just American games (most non-english non-japanese games get a US release)

Really depends. I'm SO happy to have English as a primary language, but I'd like to learn Italian (because it sounds beautiful and I might want to go there, and my favourite football team is Milan), but sometimes I think maybe Russian, or Finnish (because I'm half Finnish)

It's difficult to pick one. Either Russian, Spanish or French. I'll say Russian.

Why has noone said Polish? I mean, it's so awesome, noone would know what you were speaking(unless your in poland) till you told them! Russian, German, and Japanese are so over used, and chinese is the only really useful one, why not use a language of a Eastern European bloc country?
