If you could get instant fluency in any language which one would you pick?
If I didn't know Russian I would pick it. But for now I would pick German. Beautiful language. I wish I learned it properly in school ... but i didn't :(

English... ya Its my native language but If I could learn it perfectly then I could totally annoy everyone else as the ultimate grammar nazi.

Now that is one interesting poll, seeing the options, I was very tempted to pick "English (any accent)", because even though, I think, my English is pretty decent I'm not a native speaker and it would be so cool to be able to speak it perfectly, like a native speaker. In the end I picked Russian, but Chinese would probably have been just as fine. Neither sounds particularly pretty to my ears (no offense intended), but they'd both be very useful when applying for a spy job. It would be so cool to go and spy on people by speaking a language nobody expects you to ;-)
Apart from that, I should mention that my native language is German and I was quite surprised that quite a few people picked that option. I also speak a bit of French and Indonesian,

Latin. Just like the Catholic church teaches, just no religion please!

I'd like to be fluent in whatever women are speaking ... and I'd probably be the first guy to understand them. heck, I could make millions by starting a translation agency, right? ;)

You find a genie in a bottle, but he's a special genie, he only deals in language wishes. So he will grant you instant fluency in any language of your choice, along with accent of your choice if applicable. You will be able to speak it, read it, write it, as if you were a native speaker.
It has to be a real language on Earth, no fake ones. No Klingon or Dwarvish or anything like that.
And before you complain that such-and-such language isn't in the poll keep in mind that I can only have 20 options. I googled to find the languages with the most number of speakers. But I also grouped some together, such as languages of India. I included an option for "Other" if the one you want isn't one of the poll options, but make sure you read over every option first because there are some "others" that are specific to a region of the world. Feel free to list it in the comments if you want.
No potato option. No giveaway. This is just to see what other people would choose because I'm curious.
