It's quite tricky because I can certainly read a book in Swedish and at least one of the Norwegian languages, even though I wouldn't be able to speak them at all. I chose not to check them.

When the total amount of Danes having posted on this board during 2003 can be counted on one hand, what's the odds there are actually two of them online at 4:15 on a weekday morning?

English, French, German, Erse and I can speak a little Arabic, but my reading has gone to pot. Started to learn a Koori language, but gave up. May start again. No habl' Espanol unfortunately, which is very sad. Have forgotten all the Italian I learned. I find starting to learn languages easy, but it's keeping them up that takes effort, and life gets in the way. Used to be able to read Anglo-Saxon, but it was difficult to find anyone in the real world (as opposed to university) who was the slightest bit interested in the subjects of kennings and alliteration in 'The Dream of the Rood' or 'The Wanderer', so I gave it up as a lost cause.
I have a friend who is half French, half British and she is fluent in English, French, Provencal French, Catalan, Italian, Spanish, German and I think the last I heard she was starting to learn Dutch, but it could just be she was choking on a fishbone. She frequently finds herself thinking in more than one language esecially when trying to find equivalent words.
Just kidding, Netherlandish ones.

The only one I'd be able to vote for is English. The other languages I'm best at are Spanish, German, and Norwegian. Languages I'd love to know include Faroese, Gutnish, Basque, Karelian, Hebrew, Ainu, Maori, Cherokee, Navajo, Inuit, Nahuatl, and Guarani.

Catalan is spoken in Eastern Spain and has in the past been considered a dialect of Spanish.

Brent why in the world would you want to speak languages that no one else understands? And have you ever heard the Eskimo languages? Are you sure you can build up enough flem in the back your throat to sound like that?
