I'm going to be one of those serial language learners (and already am, seeing as I've already formally studied four foreign languages for longer than a year, and as many others on my own in private). I love the excitement of it, and the fact that you can never finish learning a foreign language - it's perfect proof against boredom.
Hear, hear! I like the idea of being a serial language learner. ^-^
What are your eight languages? Mine are, in roughly chronological order: formal study, French, Latin, Greek, German, Hebrew (Modern & Biblical); self-studying, Japanese. I don't count Russian or Italian, which I gave up on after less than a year. I'd love to learn Chinese someday. Also, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Demotic and Coptic. Someday.
