    Here’s my list. I’ve been putting this thing together since I was a kid…

    1. Arabic

    2. Portugese

    3. Mandarin

    4. Russian

    5. Turkish

    6. Farsi

    7. An African language. Still trying to decide what the best one would be…Swahili or Zulu perhaps?

    8. A polynesian language would also be fun like Samoan or Tongan

    9. Korean

    Hi Jeff:

    This list is pretty impressive. I can’t see past my goal of learning Spanish. I plan to ramp up my effort with Rosetta Stone, so perhaps, in time, my list will expand.

    Cassandra – My goal – speak Spanish with my in-laws. That’s a huge goal in itself.

    Second language – truly learn CSS or Rails or Php

    1) keep up my Russian – worked & lived there in the mid-90s; my pronunciation / grammar is way out of whack now, 15 yrs later…

    2) Would like to move beyond rudimentary Signed English so I could communicate better with my brother-in-law

    3) Spanish

    4) Japanese
