be fluent in 5 languages

I want to be completely fluent in 5 languages. I’m already completely fluent in 2 – English and Afrikaans. I’m busy working on my German, which is coming on fast. After I’m fluent in German, I’ll give Spanish a go. That would take me a few years to master, and after that, I don’t know yet which language to learn next. Maybe French; or Japanese!

English, Thai, Cambodian, Lao, Vietnamese

totally worth it… arabi(3 different ways), urdu, hindi, english, sawhili, marathi, and french accomplished with spanish on the way….

I grew up bi-lingual, so that knocks out 2. If I ever can become fluent in Spanish and French, I’ll restart with German and/or Italian. If I succeed at that, I can move onto one of these: Brazilian Portuguese or Chinese or Hebrew.

I’m taking a deutsche class through the faculty of extension at U of A.
Couldn’t decide whether to do level one or two (seeing as I did already take a German class, albeit almost 6 years ago), but I’m busy on Wednesday nights, so… level one it is.
I really shouldn’t have taken this on – I have too much on my plate already (greedy amanda). But I’m enjoying it nonetheless.

I want to be speak/read/write fluently in French, Italian and Spanish.
Besides these:
I want to speak fluently in Sinhala, Hindi, Japanese.

All in all, I want to be able to speak in French, Italian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Sinhala, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic…omg that makes 9 languages :p besides English and my native language Dhivehi

German is the only language from above I don’t know much about. yet!or maybe I know 3 words, so that’s a good start. And I have some German friends :D

I learnt quite a bit of Bislama (local pidgin spoken in Vanuatu) – not fluent, but enough to understand pretty much everything people say to me, but I’m slow to translate my English when I speak.

This goal is at listsofbests.com now. = )

Of course, I already know English, so check that one off the list! Four more to go! I already know bits and pieces of different languages, especially Esperanto (look it up!), though I’m not fluent. So, I decided to begin the “quest” yesterday with French. The BBC website has a great “Languages” page with lots of differnt courses and other tools to utilize. Go to: www.bbc.co.uk/languages I started with the French Steps course.

I think if I found myself fluent in 5 languages finally, I would definitely keep going.

English
Spanish (not nearly fluent, but working on it)
Thai (I imagine I’ll be fluent once I get there. I can read Thai, and know many words.)
German (Took 3 years in high school. Would basically need to re-learn it)
Japanese (Only know a handful of words, but I really dig it)
Italian (I know nothing)
French (ditto)
Korean (again, nothing)
Russian (This would be SOOO cool to know, I think)
Arabic (I’m laying over in Jordan for a few hours and I plan on buying an Arabic phrase book so I can get around and talk with some locals.)
