    other than my mother tongue, which i do sometimes still struggle with, i speak passable spanish and am currently learning arabic.

    i don't, being from wales, know the language and have no desire to want to learn that gob-full of ****e.

    what other lingos can you speak?

    It's not that difficult as it's a halfway house between German and English, but there are a few strange vowel sounds which are difficult to master. They also have an odd thing where some conjunctions affect the word order of the sentence, and you have to send the verb to the end of the clause. The main problem is getting Dutch people to speak Dutch to you because English is an unofficial second language for them and they can't understand why you'd want to speak Dutch.
