Isn't 5 enough for me? I understand spanish is highly popular in America..but for gods sakes, i don't think my brain can hold anymore without exploding or mixing them together to create my own language I just feel that if possible, i would rather concentrate on getting A+ on my sciences, then have another language course to worry about on the side.
impressive and point taken, it seemed like you were just trying to get out of taking a class. with that said, if it's a degree req, then how can you *not* care about it? i sort of run into that problem with whatever latest language i happen to be working on (hindi at the moment) taking on all the spots in my brain and ousting the french or spanish or what-have-you. however, languages you're truly fluent are in a separate compartment.

also to the the guy above me ... not true. spanish is way more useful in america than any mix of indian languages.
