Just out of interest, what languages do people on here know.
English is the only language I speak properly, I know a very small amount of French (from school) I couldn't get on with the teacher so found that very hard to learn, and I am currently learning Norwegian, Jeg forstar lit Norsk.

It is hard to understand people when they talk in a language that you can understand, but aren't fluent in, because they talk quite fast and it takes a second or two to work out each work, at least thats what I have found

I can grind my way through reading most Germanic languages, and supposedly passed GCSE French with a B, but I'm only truly fluent in four languages.
1) English
2) Bad English, learnt from reading too many forum posts and youtube comments.
(This includes 1337 speak)
3) Most BASIC computer languages, but that's pushing it a bit.
4) Lupica, a language I created myself - it's designed to be a practically unbreachable code language which I use for writing things I don't want other people to read. It doesn't use conventional characters; all letters have very similar appearance rates (and most letters have at least 3 variants); it has no regular verbs; has no written equivalents for "the", "a", pronouns or several other words that might make decryption easier; and it's specifically designed to be a nightmare.
It is also a spoken language, but I use it mostly for cursing.
Two other people can sort of understand it in it's spoken form (and four have worked out the odd word or two), but the written form is still a secret to me alone.
