    Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and French in my humble opinion.

    Edited to add Portuguese, that's also a must

      Arabic is the best, and I hear a wide variety of languages all the time.

      Amazing that it wasn't included in the above list.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  I'd say Italian or Dutch. English with a (slight) Irish accent sounds very nice as well.

                  And Russian sounds horrible. Ugh.

                    I like the way Arabic people speak too.
