I'd go with the inclinations for Arabic or Chinese. Both are a real pain in the ass, though.

I can speak both....well kind of for the latter Still learning as a second year student but if I have my way I'll get the minor
Too bad beyond I army I haven't seen anyone actually interested in someone with english+arabic+mandarin

But yeah...arabic or mandarin

Yeah now pick up writing. TallBill (actually you do seem pretty tall in your pics), you may have picked up Iraqi Arabic as a speaker....but phe4r the written part of it, because its nothing like speaking

Although I would argue spoken fluency is the most important thing

edit:

and just b/c one can understand how to speak iraqi style doesn't mean one can understand other types....it takes me a while to grapple other styles ><

Arabic
Chinese
Dari
Farsi

Maybe Hebrew

 

[AnthroAndStargate]

Spanish, Chinese, or Hindi.

Perhaps Binary.
