2. if you could be fluent in any language at the snap of your fingers, which one and why?

Ancient Egyptian. I know it’s kind of stupid because nobody actually speaks it anymore, but just imagine all the knowledge that could be gained by that! To be able to actually understand all the hieroglyphs with secondary meaning and just... you know. If it’s a living language, I guess it’d be either Gaelic or Arabic. Just the pure beauty of them makes me go all hearteyes.

somehow "højagtelse" sounds More than "high regard" even though that's literally what it is

I just realised that when we say “The Flash” in Portuguese it sounds like “De Flesh”

Är det inte bättra att anrika bare ett eller två språk före du ska fortsätta med att lära dig nya språk? Tror du att du har blivit flytande i alla tolv spåken ännu?

Nooo I’m not expecting to become fluent in most of the languages I’m learning I do hope so, one day but I generally don’t mix up languages and I have enough time to study 12 at the same time, and tbh it’s going perfectly fine so far luckily (then again I don’t study all of them at the same level and amount and it’s been weeks since I tried anything Swedish but I did something Italian yesterday, so it’s doable enough this way)

The funniest thing in airports is trying to guess the languages that people passing by are speaking

So I mastered hirigana but what stops me from everything is kanji. Without the hirigana help. I am just helpless. Also, even though I can read the hirigana. I have no flipping clue what I've read and slightly pick out some parts. I need some textbook. Also I can't even write out the hirigana. Haha!!
