for reader's advisory homework, i was made to listen to an audiobook. i ended up listening to two and part of one: neil gaiman reading his own "neverwhere" (totally worth it, if slow); jim dale reading jk rowling's "harry potter and the compliant redheadthe sorcerer's stone" (not really worth it); and the playaway of some british guy reading cs

Gaelic is tough, but then you could sing along to Irish music... That said, it's a bit hard to find audio lessons in Gaelic, but there are some decent ones out there. I need to fire mine up again and see if I can brush up what I learned at a Gaelic intensive workshop a few years back!

I say start with what you know the most and work your way to the ones you don't know. That way you get a refresher on the ones you know something of. But then I've never been very good at other languages, so I would need the refresher if I were doing this.

They speak Irish (Irish gaelic) in Ireland, where there's been many years of revival of the language in an attempt to counteract the effects of British rule, but it's not like you can't just speak English. I believe there are some decent courses on Irish available on the internet.

I happen to think a semitic language in the mix would be cool, but that's just me. ;) Still, if you end up going with Arabic, I have a spare Hans Wehr Arabic/English dictionary you could have.

Romanian. It's a romance language and you can then visit Transylvania.
