Since you want to go somewhere different Finland would be an excellent choice, chances are pretty big nobody you know has travelled here.
Unfortunately this is a rather expensive country, so you will get a nasty surprise if planning with Central European price levels. The language is also pretty much useless outside our borders (with an exception for Estonia, where you have some chances to get along even better than with English), so you might as well don't bother since most people (excluding some of the elderly) understand more English than you can reasonably hope to quickly learn Finnish (the language is quite easy and spoken almost the same as it is written, but very different from Indo-European languages, so e.g. German ought to be less of a challenge).

If you actually are interested to travel to this sunny spot (not literally, Finland is the sixth largest country in Europe and not particularly sunny, especially in the winter) between Scandinavia and Russia, I'll be glad to help.

Spanish is, after all, still the most spoken language in the world...
And it's easy to learn... And it's cool...
Spanish rocks.

No. Believe me, you don't want to learn that kind of language if you want to be among normal people.

I've used tic-tac-toe to learn a little, and it helped quite a bit
Eh, tic-tac-toe is borderline. I'd suggest Juli or Wir Sind Helden.

I sooooooo wish I could some how learn Ice Landic but that would be very hard to come by.

Anyways I personally suggest German. Thats what I went with, and he we both come from the same State . I admitt im biased because I love Germany, Germans, German Cars, German Military, German Flecktarn(), German Anything.

Besides isnt it the EU's official language?(or one of them I think). And its becoming very popular in Egypt. And if something i spopular its Egypt it will be more widely used(that is, in the case of the rest of the middle east)

Also, German's damn easy to learn if you know any Old English.

I tried spanish (could pick it in my 3rd year instead of French) and failed. Then again the teacher couldn't maintain order so it was like a playground. We got to chapter 3 or something in 6 months.

All member states' languages are official in the EU.

We traveled to denmark with our sailboat once, i'll never set foot in scandinavia again!
j/k.
It was beautiful, although i think norway or finland would be more beautiful, but the weather was dreadful, and the german coastguard kept on bullying us...So, not the best holidays i've had.

Thanks, I try my best.

Got to mention Finland is a very beautiful and safe place to travel in, just don't mind that Dutchman who was stabbed to death in June.

I guess I better shut up now, never been that good at the stuff where you are supposed to deceive people, i.e. advertising...
