Five Languages

I had an interesting chat with a buddy of mine today. We were talking about our kids learning foreign languages at an early age, and laughed about our disastrous failures to speak anything but English or "drunkenese."

If a genie were to pop out of your coffee mug and grant you immediate fluency in five languages, what would they be?

Mine are:

1) Latin
2) Spanish
3) Mandarin Chinese
4) Japanese
5) French

Ooooh ... good call on the Gaelic Pete. I trade my earlier pick of French for Gaelic.
