Ancient Babylonian(really), Arabic, ASL, Chinese, Coptic(no idea what country this belongs to), Dakota(idk the country), Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hmong, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Norwegian, Ojibwa(idk the country), Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Scandinavian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
Of those, I am already capable of speaking (at least casually, but not professionally) in ASL, Spanish, and French.
So, do I continue improving my current capabilities, or pick up something new? If I go with something new, I'm leaning towards Arabic, German, or Japanese; with Chinese or Korean following after those. Does anyone else have any thoughts or recommendations on what I should try and go for?
