I really don't know what exactly this thread is trying to tell us (me).
But as I like unorthodox ideas, here my contribution to the nonsense:
- German - (nativ) well actually it's swiss-german, a terrible idiom of a remote mountain tribe in central europe
French - my teacher tortured me with that, nowadays he'd end in prison (or at least in CNN) for that
English - sometimes I regret to have learnd it, specially when I listen to some politics!
Spanish - Dios mio, I really love this lingo!
Arabic - I'm working hard on it right now, thats tough I can tell you! Well maybe I regret it in a few years as well when I start to understand those politics

My cousin is in special forces with the US army and speaks very fluent Arabic. He is currently in (surprise) Iraq. He went to linguistic school where they were not allowed to speak another word of English after the first day of school. Both he and his wife went through the same training and so whenever they would get into an argument around us they would start speaking at a very rapid rate and slightly increased volumes in Arabic. It sounds soooo wierd to hear that coming out of a white red-haired person. The writing is even crazier

I think it would be a very cool language to learn though. I have other friends who were going to go as missionaries to Yemen and so I have subscribed to the
Yemen Times, an English printed Yemen newspaper, to learn more about the culture. There really are a lot of changes over there even before the recent war. The press is really promoting freedom of speech and are making headway... but it is still not uncommon to be put in jail, attacked in allies, threatened and even murdered in some cases. Here is an
article from this February describing some of this.
