Honestly? Learn Japanese. Damn thing's been on my to-do list for about half my life now. Somehow I feel that in 20 years, I'll wish I'd have done it (just like I currently wish I'd already done it all those years ago).

Check out Michel Thomas. I've had good success in learning Spanish following his method. I don't know if he himself has done a Japanese course (I doubt it, he spoke European languages) but the method is great, and is followed by others in many languages.

I am actually just starting to learn Japanese. Learning a language certainly requires a lot of motivation.

That's a big one. It's not something that happens over night or even over the course of one year.

Good luck. I've always wanted to learn how to speak French.
