I've always loved to hear Latin spoken; Arabic also sounds great.

Hmmm... Germans say Dutch sounds like someone's speaking from his lower abdomen or something... so not really a nice language, probably... (although I find Middle Dutch highly amusing...but that's of course only for reading)

I would like to learn Arab one day though (tried it, but dropped out due to laziness), but personally I would already be glad if I finally learned to speak French fluently.

Oh, and I would very much like to learn to say ugly words and insults in Russian. When a friend of me and myself went to pick up another friend in Oxford, it once again occured to us how nice it is to say what you think of people without them understanding it (Dutch is perfect for that goal), but of course that doesn't really work in the Netherlands, so we think Russian would be a nice alternative... It sounds really cool anyway.

Welsh is one of the most wonderful and expressive languages ever created, every sentence sounds like a poem or a song. I love watching the eisteddfods on S4C, even though I actually understand very little Welsh, just to listen to the sheer beauty of it being spoken or sang (despite the fact a lot of the acts are really quite shockingly awful).

English spoken with received pronunciation is very nice too (which is how I speak it, hoorah!), and is very good for wooing foreign girls. If spoken with certain accents though: Estuary, Cockney and Northern (inc. Midlands) for example, it sounds absolutely horrific, same goes for if the regional accents of the West Country, Scotland and Wales aren't spoken well.

Despite their bad reviews here, I actually quite like German and Dutch and the like as well. They're much nicer than the nasal, slurred languages of around the Mediterranean.
