Sometimes I get really ambitious over what languages I think I could possibly speak. I did, at one point my life, take Spanish in school but I have a difficult time remembering any of it. Scratch that…when I lived in Florida and it could potentially become useful, I suddenly couldn't remember anything I learned. Now, 15 years later, I can remember some of it. Also, at the same time I was trying to teach myself Italian and French, cause I get a little TOO ambitious at times. But, if I could do it rationally, I'd go with Spanish, Italian, French, German, Russian, and Japanese. I think that's it. I feel like I'm missing one.
I have never been overseas and I have a odd irrational fear of not knowing the language of the place I'm at. Heck, I get uncomfortable just driving over to KY because of the whole weird accent thing. I know, that's why it's called an irrational fear, not a "this makes perfect sense" one. But I think it would be cool to travel one day and not stick out like a sore thumb because of the language issue.
