LANGUAGES I WANT TO STUDY AT SOME POINT IN MY LIFE AND LEARN, VAGUELY IN ORDER
Russian – (It kicks ass, yo.)

French – (I’ve already started studying it, and I like talking to people in a non-native language. Until I can make my Russian superawesome, French is the only language I can say I speak “conversationally”. Well, I haven’t had deep conversations in French, but I have asked about video games and ordered food and I can definitely read and write so nya!)

Icelandic - (I love Iceland. Icelandic is beautiful. Icelanders have a weirdly strong presence on the internet. Icelandic is closely related to Old Norse and a bit father away from the other Scandinavian languages, therefore allowing for kickass mutual intelligibility. Iceland has awesome cake. Also BJORK and DISNEY MOVIES and POKEMON. It’s also renowned for being incredibly difficult/irregular/just plain weird/whatever and I love an Iceland-related challenge >D)

Hindi (Exploring the other side of Indo-European languages. Cool script, one of most spoken languages in the world, incredibly kick-butt 8D)

Inuktitut / Navajo (? Something native to the Americas that is also widely spoken. I’m all for salvage linguistics, but I want to be able to speak the language to people. Inuktitut looks particularly cool because you have cool one word sentences that make German and Russian defecate in their pantaloons).

Yoruba/Zulu/Swahili (I want something from Africa, because as a language nerd, it is my duty to say “rrft” to Indo-European languages. Yoruba is cool because ANGELIQUE KIDJO and Cuba, plus it’s pretty widely spoken and materials aren’t that hard to find; Zulu maybe because LION KING and it has click consonants which are always cooooool. Swahili is pretty meh; it’s widely spoken, but doesn’t have the awesome language features of Yoruba, which has tones, and Zulu, which has clicks. I guess it’s like “My First Niger-Congo language” [Zulu is not even a Niger-Congo language, is it?] and pretty well-spoken, but language-wise Yoruba and Zulu are way cooler and “weirder”.

Tagalog/Indonesian – (Both are pretty well-spoken and also have some weird relation to Spanish somehow, as well as being just different from European languages, but neither the Philippines nor Indonesia attract me. Indonesia, I must admit, scares me a little. In addition, there aren’t many dubs for Indonesian or Tagalog, so I can’t watch my precious Disney films and I’ll have to find… new material. Still, Indonesian has a reputation among Barry Farber for supermega easiness…

Japanese – (My inner otaku demands that I study Japanese at some point in my life. Will I ever get crazy mad fluency skills? Probably not. Will I be conversational? Meh. Basic skills? I doubt it. It would still be an interesting challenge, though…

Arabic – (Sososososo cool buuuuut really hard and weird and difficult. Still, it’s like a pipe dream of mine – study it one day! …Maybe! …Who knows!)

Finnish/Estonian – (They’re so freaking weird! Also, I admit to having a fondness for Estonia in Hetalia. :3 Oh, and Ievan Polkka! Nuapurissa kuulu se polokan tahti…

Basque – (MOCEDADES and once again, it’s just a freak alien language in the middle of Europe, wtf is it doing there?)

Catalan – (closely related to Spanish, materials not that difficult to find, DISNEY MOVIES IN IT or at least Pokemon, and a country that speaks it. Who knows?)

Welsh/Cornish – (Cornish is sadly really rare, but Welsh has some hope. It’s also insanely difficult and as cool and British as it is, I don’t think I could muster the courage to deal with that monster of a language, though if I can conquer the others on this list, I think Welsh will look like a piece of delicious German chocolate cake.)

American Sign Language – (Because communicating with people with disabilities is important too, ya know, plus it is completely different from the other languages. No movies, no music, just hand signals. Plus, when people ask me for ASL, I can be all like “American Sign Language? Yeah, I speak it.” And they’ll be all like “no age/sex/location” and I’ll be all like “male/55/Lebanon” and they’ll be all like “disconnect” and I’ll be all like “”. But anyway, I also have someone to practice with!)

Maori/Hawaiian – (I was totally pumped for Maori [because I am pumped for studying anything other than my current language; wanderlust sucks, but I shall overcome!] but then I saw that it had around 100,000 speakers and that New Zealanders gave an aerial defecation about this language. I admit that that number is bigger than Inuktitut, but from what I understand Maori is dying and somebody please correct me if I’m wrong. Hawaiian is cool because LILO AND STITCH but it has veeery few speakers and like 200 native speakers, which is D
