    I've made it a personal goal to learn Norwegian

    ...and I have absolutely no valid reason why.

    I mean, I chose it out of the other Scandinavian languages because it has a unique position where it's highly influenced by both Danish and Swedish, and is thus mutually intelligible with both, giving it greater currency. And it would afford me at least a superficial understanding of Icelandic and Faroese (although not very much -- Icelandic is far more archaic).

    But other than that, there's no practicality to it. Unlike Spanish or French.

    Oh well.

    Jeg snakker litt Norsk!

    So you can be TRI-lingual. I hear the ladies really dig that.

      Knowing a language no one around you knows is a sure way to insert your superiority. So long as it is not a fictional language.

      Verdict is still out on Norwegian. I don't believe in them.

            Learn it and then watch the original Norwegian version of Insomnia.

            And if you can then get by with a little Danish, watch the original Danish miniseries The Kingdom.
