Hebrew is the language I'm most interested in learning, but Russian if I had to choose from this list.

I'd like to learn Russian someday.

It will be useful when President Trump concedes central Europe to Putin.

I am currently learning Russian so I would go for Latin or Classical Greek as this is pretty natural direction for Poles.

I'd say it used to be (Classical Greek and Latin). There's no wider interest now. Which I find sad, because my great-grandfather was a classical scholar.

I had German for three years in school. I don't remember anything beside "guten tag", "ich heisse" and, like every Pole, "hande hoch!"

Shhh. Don't say such things. Latin is still widely used, I want to believe. I had no Latin in high school as my class had German and Philosophy (second "humanistic'' class had French and Latin unfortunately). On studies I had only translations of two texts from Latin to Polish because I had it only for half of the year and lecturer was pretty bad (I dropped my second course as I wasn't able to cope with two examination sessions) and after that I really wanted to study Latin by myself but never had enough time or determination or had other interests etc. etc. etc.

One of my distant cousin graduated with other few people classical philology (at the beginning of the course there were like 50 students, in the end less than 6) so I guess there is interest, people are just to lazy to study (like me) or are demotivated by people who says "durr for what you need that dead language". But talking seriously you are right that comparing to the past now interest in classical languages is very low and probably soon it will fade into the total niche.

I guess the main problem is that schools simply abandoned Latin as a subject. We never had Latin, while rhe nearest HS had one. Which is a shame.
