I live in a pretty diverse area and hear different languages all over my neighborhood, no need to travel for them. I am fond of Brazilian Portuguese especially. It's almost sing song-y.
German. I can't say it is a nice polite language. What I can say is that I like its directness and bluntness.. I also like many of its similarities to English.
I'm in the United States, I find it refreshing to hear English being spoken. Bonus points if it's reasonably grammatically correct, and spoken at a level above elementary school proficiency.
I live in New Mexico and was at a local McDonalds a while back and heard English, Spanish, Italian and two (or three?) Native American languages. Italian has a very nice lyrical quality to it. I speak English but can manage in Spanish and a little Italian. I especially like hearing the Native American languages spoken because some have died out or only have a handful of speakers left. I am surprised at how often I hear Italian spoken here but Spanish is, of course, very commonly spoken (usually more like Spanglish).

Yup. Back in my early 20s I couldn't handle listening to the cute grad student (Carioca) from Rio speaking Portuguese when I was still learning it. Mind blowing

Welsh may be nice to hear, I do know that the Welsh have the best accent when it comes to speaking English, they sound fabulous because they 'sing' almost every word they say :-)
I'd give that honor to the Scousers. Nothing beats the sing-song of a good thick Liverpool accent.
Foreign language? French. Nice and soothing. I also like to listen to Afrikaans just because that's what I've heard is closest to what English sounds like to people who don't speak English. I especially like watching Charlize Theron speak it.
