This one is probably my first choice. The East Asian languages it offers are Chinese (Mandarin, I assume), Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, Tibetan and Thai. Decent enough. The South Asian languages it offers are Bengali, Hindi, Indonesian, Khmer, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tagalog, Tamil, and Urdu. Most sufficient. European languages: Spanish, Portuguese

This is kind of random, but it just occured to me, it's kind of sad how Africa is so insignificant in our world today that their languages aren't really worth learning for any practical reasons, as well as the fact that they were all colonized so they all speak some european language along with their native one anyway.

Yeah. It's pretty sad, African languages are so pretty. Maybe if you studied abroad in Ghana or South Africa you could learn Afrikaans, or. . . I don't know what is spoken in Ghana. Swahili's pretty common, though, and it's lovely.
