Russian
Whether you're interested in Russian literature, history or music, or you just want to be able to talk to Russian people, you're sure to enjoy learning this language. It is the most widely spoken language in the Slavic family, which also includes Polish, Czech, Slovak, Ukranian, Bulgarian and several other languages. Learning Russian will make it much easier for you to learn any of these languages.
Don't be intimidated by the Cyrillic alphabet: you can learn it very quickly, and you'll soon be on your way to reading Tolstoy, Chekhov and Dostoyevsky in their original language!
