It's funny, there are a lot of languages i'd -- if i was a learner of languages -- consider to learn, but none of them are particularly useful internationally:
--Czech (or another slavic language, but i have a few friends in the Czech Republic)
--Korean (i heard it's supposedly a hundred times easier to learn than Japanese)
--Scottish Gaelic (for oneupmanship with a scottish friend of mine who for some reason is learning German)

Any by the way, Romanic languages are awful, Germanic languages fo life, yo.

Yeah, try medzuslovjanski. Very similar to Polish and Russian, helpful when communicating with other Slavic poeple (Chechs too). Useless when dealing with our Brothers Hungarians, their language is out of this world :D

Hungarian is related to Estonian and Finnish, btw. They're all Uralic languages. Alas, can't understand a word of it though.

Related to Estonian, but you can't understand a word? I told you, they're out of this world :D
But we love them. Every Hungarian should automatically gain Polish citizenship, and vice-versa ;)
