  • Why is that?

    I speak English only, I blame the school system.

  • A little bit of Spanish, and I've been meaning to learn more Japanese.

  • Croatian and German but I also want to learn Spanish.

  • The only language they ever attempted to teach us was Spanish, but we learned the exact same things for like 3 years then had no more language classes. There was literally no progression, and it was so boring that I spent most of the time sleeping. No one in my entire school learned Spanish.

  • That's a translitation of how people speak; like in Huckleberry Finn. The Quebecois speak standard French, but the accent can be pretty different, and in some cases words are used differently.

  • Polish guy that speaks Norwegian. Your father is some sort of construction worker i'm guessing.

    Polish (native), English, a little German and Norwegian. Also I'm going to Portugal soon so I should probably start to learn Portuguese.

  • Learning norwegian is alot smarter. Norway have been rules by both sweden and denmark (jerks abused half population dying to the black death) So our language is kind of in the middle and Norwegians for the most time have an easier time to understand Swedish and Danish.
