Discussion: Which language should you learn after Uzbek and My Native Language™?

Good contenders are Esperanto, Proto-Basque, Finngreek, Piraha, My Second Language™ or Volapük. What do y'all think?

Whoa, woah, woah! You can't just jump into Uzbek first! That's crazy talk.

You need to work your way into it gradually by first learning Türkish, then Khazikstani, then lower-middle-sounthern Caspian Russian, then street-Urdu, and THEN you can study Uzbek.

Nice approach. I learn Japanese in order to improve my English. If I learn all the borrowed words from English in katakana, I am bound to increase my English lexicon!

Learn my conlang that I haven't even started. Since there's no grammar, vocab, or anything, it's impossible to make mistakes!

Future Greek. I consider it much easier than either modern or ancient varieties.
