What languages do you already know, except for English?

English, Hindi & Marathi (2 indian languages). I can speak all 3 fluently & write in them.

I'm sorry but I would never take French, I tried at secondary school & didn't do well. 

@Ultima

My aim is to enjoy learning it & to boost my CV at the same time. 

If I go by pure enjoyment I would like to learn Japanese to improt games & understand anime. But what if I hate Japanese games (like most do!!!11) and anime in a few years LOL

Imo you should pick one that is both practical and asthetic to you, so it should have some possible use given your circumstances/career and you must simply like hearing and speaking it. Two big emerging markets are China and Brazil, so Mandarin and Portuguese are obvious choices. I've been told that Mandarin has a fairly simple grammar compared to English or German, so I'd favor that one over Portuguese. Other quite practical languages would be French, German, Spanish and Japanese. I wouldn't bother with the rest tbh, since you would have to madly adore them in order to consider those over the more global ones, and if you did then you wouldn't have needed to post this thread. ;)

Which language do you consider the most beautiful sounding?
