I already know English and Serbian/Bosnian, and now that my parents have bought a condo over in Mexico [yes, lucky me. ^_^] I'd love to learn Mexico...which I'm trying to learn right now.

umm... "God" (adonai) :s ... why would you have no desire to be bilingual? learning another language would open your world up like crazy. It seems pretty intolerant of you to not want to be. Are you saying you would rather have everyone adapt to you?

I think the question is why would I? If I were in another country that spoke something other than English, I imagine that it would be necessary to communicate. But that's never going to happen.

Spanish, as it's the place I holiday most often. Then if I go to Mexico, or cuba etc I can speak to the locals.

...there are some differences between Mexican Spanish, and Spain Spanish... So you wouldn't entirely be fluently speaking their language.

lol, I speak french, here in Quebec it's kinda ugly but I suppose it's kinda nice in france. I suppose I just don't see it as that because everyone here takes french for granted, kinda a "you speak french? so?"

I would learn Japanese for the coolness factor, but right now Chinese is really nice. It isn't as hard as you might think. So many people use it, thus the complexity of it lowers as more people need to be able to learn it.

yep, all bets are off when I take my public-school immersion french across the border to 'la belle provence' with all their 'la-la's and craziness that was definitely NOT in the curriculum :p

I voted other, since I would learn more than just one of those choices, plus s'more:

- Japanese (finish properly learning, already have some basics)

- German

- Portuguese

- Russian

- Arabic

- Turkish (so I wont feel so left-out when my room-mates have guests over :p)

- French (re-fluent-ize myself)

- Latin

- Jersiais (Archaic regional French, spoken by the Normans)

- Anglo-Saxon (aka 'Old-English')

Maybe some Aramaic, uchina, PROPER Japanese slangishness, and enough Maori to be able to actually 'sing along' whenever I hear the all-blacks doing the haka. :p
