I already know English, Arabic, some Spanish, but six more:
Urdu (mom's Pakistani)
Chinese (becoming a world power)
French (sweet accent, Paris is great)
Japanese (Japan is the center of the high-tech world)
Korean (I can read a little ok, it has a really easy alphabet)
Hindi (lots of Indians in the world!!!)
Italian (beautiful sounds)
ok I know that was 7 but which should I cut off? I guess I can put Urdu and Hindi together because they are extremely similar. Italian is also like Spanish, so it would be easy to learn after I master Spanish. Chinese is crazzzy different though, so I appreciate the effortless ability given to me.

Spanish- it's useful in many places.
French- again, very useful
Arabic- Love speaking it!
Mandarin- I love China. China is projected to be the world's next superpower-so it's good to know how to say, "yes, you are right"! :)
Hindi- India is growing and expanding! We'll see more Hindi in the upcoming generations.
Dari- By good friend is Afghan and speaks little English. I only speak minimal Dari, so I would love to learn more. Right now we just use dictionaries to communicate beyond 4-year old level.

Hindi,
Gujarati
French
Italian
Chinese (Mandarin)
Azeri/Turkmen
Hindi and Gujarati because I want to go to India, state of Gujarat and you have to know the state language as well as national.
French & Italian cuz they're beautiful and it would be an easier base for linguistics cuz they're roman based, like English.
Chinese cuz it's oposite of English and would be challenging and I have Chinese friends.
Azeri/ Turkmen cuz I have interest in going to both Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.

Irish - my ancestry, and I want to teach it to my kids to keep it alive.
Italian - ancestry again
German - non-romance language that's part of my heritage, too
Latin - because it's a base for the romance languages
Japanese - I like the sound of it, and I'd like to have an Asian language in there
Greek - for it's antiquity, and because I'm interested in etymology, and many modern words have greek roots.
I'd also love to learn Welsh.

Spanish from Spain, because I adore the accent; English from England, because it's different; Brazilian Portuguese because I have Brazilian friends, Italian because it's romantic, French because I wanted to learn more in high school, and Japanese because it's a useful business tool.
