The top 5 languages that I want to learn are: 1. Japanese 2. Chinese 3. Russian 4. French 5. Italian If I can speak those 5 languages, that would be great!

I would say 1 language at a time. You need to absorb the language that you are learning. Once you are familiar with the language that you are learning, then you can take another language to learn.

Yes, I guess people would directly know that I am not a native English speaker. But accent is OK I guess. The most important thing is that you speak the language with a good grammar. A good grammar shows that you learn it properly.

I think it would be different for each individual. I learned French as my second foreign language because I want to increase my value in the workforce. Some do it because they are dating someone from a particular country; some do it because it’s a necessity. So I would say that each individual is motivated by different things.

My mother is an English teacher in Indonesia; she charged $40 not per hour but per session which is 1.5 hour. I think that is expensive but she is a very experienced English teacher, who has taught Indonesian abroad too. I think some foreign language teacher would charge less than that.
