German. And English.

Ah, yes... I was hoping against hope for Norwegian or Icelandic.  :)

That would be something. I am descended from Vikings, but know no Norwegian. I think I want to learn French.

IF I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Well, as a language learner and teacher, it will take time for me to be proficient. I would like to think I am fluent in German, but listening to the news or watching TV in German confirms that I just do not have the vocab down in order to understand certain nuances.  Then again, I listen to political and arts type of stuff, so the vocab and contexts of the topics could be greek to some native speakers as well.

I will send you a PM sometime later in the week about this. Learning French, that is.
