I took an Arabic evening class during my early college years, at the time I was quite fund of the Arab culture and thought I'd move somewhere in the middle east in the future lol.. anyway I believe I was the youngest there.. it had a few middle age people there also, the teacher was of mixed origin (half Yemeni and half Indian), great teacher he also took us an arabic restraunt few times.. funny enough I don't know if I passed since I never queried back.

the last time I wanted to learn another language was around 5 years ago, and that was Japanese, but I was put off by the way the words sounded.. and probably the over dramatic japanese anime dubs which I hate with a passion.

Now I feel its a waste of time learning a new language, and the effort would be best suited by trying to learn computer programming it's much more universal and with world heading more towards technology it offers better tangible benefits.

Uzbek/Kazakh/Tatari/Kyrgyz/Azeri all speak a dialect of Turkish and it is a language that i wished i knew.

Not in order:

French (took some classes in uni though, I like some of their songs).

Spanish.

Turkish.

German.

Arabic.

Persian.

Pushto- both our and southern dialect. I can speak pushto but I want to improve my vocabulary and would like the ability to read it as well. Interestingly a British guy wrote a book on waziri dialect. I wonder if similar book is there on the northern dialect.

Mandarin.

Japanese.

There is no consensus among linguists about the identity of the underlying language of ancient Indus Vally civilization. Conclusive identification attempts of that language have been so far unsuccessful.
I do speak several major international languages but i wish to learn the deaf American Sign language (ASL).
