it's my major, and made my year living in Tokyo that much easier! na, i just love the sound and functionality of it, and there is a tiny part of me that feels rather superior when I remember how to read/write a kanji compund. also japanese novels are strange and amusing, and逆転裁判 (Phoenix Wright to everyone else) is hilarious in japanese.
I really dislike the Chinese language despite being Chinese myself. Since young, I never did like it. It's noisy and irritating to listen to imo.
I actually quite like Italian, but going with the poll, it'd be Spanish.
(Just realized that the poll didn't have Spanish... strange.)

German and Japanese.
Japanese is a nice language.
German makes me melt.
Especially if done just right <3

I won't vote, because I'm not from a english-speaking country.
My native language is Portuguese, and I speak english, took classes of Japanese and Italian, worked with an Uruguayan (Spanish speaking) and want to learn Russian, German and French.
I bet no one is gonna say "Portuguese" as his/her favorite... *sad*

French.
Because it's a fluent free flowing language, that makes you feel like you're having sex with the words. I love it.
This is only based on my hearing French, I have no knowledge of the actual language other than the basics I got during my studies in Latin.
So yea, French.

maybe that's because it's pretty close to Spanish, which more people talk, so that will be heard more often. I think.Meneghetti said:I won't vote, because I'm not from a english-speaking country.

Russian is refreshing to learn,since you have to prononce every letter one after the other,instead of looking for syllables like in latin and germanic languages.
It's also a good compromise between a new language that ressembles my first language and other,more complicated to learn languages,like Chinese.New letters and notions,but it still remains possible to learn alone.
Anyone who says French should think twice,it's filled with horrible rules and exceptions that make no logical sense,just for the litterary "beauty",that outsiders to the language don't generally know about.

Well, I could say English, but most would poke me funnily/look at me funnily for it... (WHAT? I'm Swedish! =.=") Also I speak English as good as my native language, so it doesn't really feel like a foreign language to me.
So... It's a tie between Indonesian and Japanese.
Indonesian because it sounds plain awesome if you ask me. Also that person speaks it, and if that person speaks something it's awesome. End of argument.
Japanese because... *points towards a whole bunch of totally epic Anime/Manga of complete awesomeness* Yea... Because THAT.
