English (this is easy, I’m already making progress)
Spanish (in the 300 level at college, went to Mexico, but not at all fluent)
French (in the 200 level about to be in the 300 level, but not at all fluent)
Japanese (just love Japanese culture – think Hello Kitty, anime, and sushi)
the other 2 are still to be determined, but finalists are German (I want to visit Austria), Kiswahili, Portuguese, and others

I want to be completely fluent in 5 languages. I’m already completely fluent in 2 – English and Afrikaans. I’m busy working on my German, which is coming on fast. After I’m fluent in German, I’ll give Spanish a go. That would take me a few years to master, and after that, I don’t know yet which language to learn next. Maybe French; or Japanese!
totally worth it… arabi(3 different ways), urdu, hindi, english, sawhili, marathi, and french accomplished with spanish on the way….
I grew up bi-lingual, so that knocks out 2. If I ever can become fluent in Spanish and French, I’ll restart with German and/or Italian. If I succeed at that, I can move onto one of these: Brazilian Portuguese or Chinese or Hebrew.
I’m taking a deutsche class through the faculty of extension at U of A.
Couldn’t decide whether to do level one or two (seeing as I did already take a German class, albeit almost 6 years ago), but I’m busy on Wednesday nights, so… level one it is.
I really shouldn’t have taken this on – I have too much on my plate already (greedy amanda). But I’m enjoying it nonetheless.
I want to be speak/read/write fluently in French, Italian and Spanish.
Besides these:
I want to speak fluently in Sinhala, Hindi, Japanese.
All in all, I want to be able to speak in French, Italian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Sinhala, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic…omg that makes 9 languages :p besides English and my native language Dhivehi
German is the only language from above I don’t know much about. yet!or maybe I know 3 words, so that’s a good start. And I have some German friends :D
I learnt quite a bit of Bislama (local pidgin spoken in Vanuatu) – not fluent, but enough to understand pretty much everything people say to me, but I’m slow to translate my English when I speak.
This goal is at listsofbests.com now. = )
Of course, I already know English, so check that one off the list! Four more to go! I already know bits and pieces of different languages, especially Esperanto (look it up!), though I’m not fluent. So, I decided to begin the “quest” yesterday with French. The BBC website has a great “Languages” page with lots of differnt courses and other tools to utilize. Go to: www.bbc.co.uk/languages I started with the French Steps course.
