I don't expect I'd ever be able to become fluent in Irish Gaelic, I'm just infatuated with the look and sound of it as a language. The Boston Language Institute actually has someone who teaches I.G., but classes are expensive.
You're right about Spanish being much more useful. To me though, it's just blah - if you know what I mean...
I've thought about learning Japanese too -as I'm strongly considering the JET program post-grad- but I'm just not sure, *shrug*
As for your keeping conversational in your myriad of langauges, I don't envy you there. Not an easy task. That you can speak so many languages at the levels you can is a testament to your wickedness.
