According to my mom, I can read practically any language. She does this to me when we're traveling in other countries too. It's flattering . . . but kind of confusing.
Dutch is one of those languages that I thought sounded IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT, but knowing German helps me read and understand bits and pieces, which is really cool! (and I really like the way it sounds!) Now I just think of Dutch as "the language that sounds a hell of a lot like German and I feel like I could *almost* understand it, except I can't really". If that makes any sense. :)
If only you spoke Dutch, then you could understand a lot of Danish and Norwegian... 0:) But you speak more languages than me anywa...
