Lots of contenders but I can't really see myself ever learning Maltese, Pashto or Yoruba.

Seriously? Finnish is probably one of my favorite languages. Sounds beautiful and the grammar is fascinating. On topic, I would probably like to unlearn English, as it doesn't deserve its role as lingua franca. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A lot of people don't want to learn Esperanto, which is fair enough. I feel I should defend it though, because it helped me establish good learning habits.
I started out learning Spanish, which was great, but I sometimes found it intimidating. Esperanto wasn't at all intimidating. It's a made-up language and the grammar is very easy, with the slight exception of the accusative case. So I took a break from learning Spanish for a couple of months and learned as much Esperanto as I could. That got me into a nice groove for tackling more difficult languages. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I have to say Arabic. While I love the writing system, I simply can not stand the sound of (any dialect) it. But since I was going to learn Hindi anyway, might as well learn Urdu!

Esperanto and other artificial languajes, I gust don't have any use for them.
I also dont feel any interest towards Slvic languages, Persian, or most African languages. 1 person has voted this message useful |
