Am I Weird?

This is in Norwegian with Dutch subtitles. And it sounds like Russian and German and English to me.

It doesn't sound anything like Russian to me.

I meant all smooshed together. Not any one of those languages specifically. Actually, I should have said slavic.

Rosemary, I'm sorry, but I'm not picking up anything of a slavic nature. I'm not even sure those languages even have a similar root. Interestingly enough, Korean and Finnish have the same root. How that happened I don't know.

Could it be that your ears are failing you as you RAPIDLY approach the big FOUR-OH?!?

Dutch has always sounded "English meets German" to me. It pretty much is. We all share a same linguistic mother tongue (High or Old German), not including Proto-Indo-European.

As for the slavic nature - many European languages of Germanic or slavic decent sound like that to me. Ever heard a Slovenian speak? ;)

The subtitles are in Danish, not Dutch.

I guess what I'm saying is that I was listening to it and I understood a lot of it. I speak German, Polish, French and a bit of Russian.

Danish and Dutch sound alot alike to me, but thanks for proof-reading Ara. :)

I speak German, Polish and Russian are outside my abilities. Russian specifically for the cyrillic alphabet - my mind just sees symbols, not letters. Same for Greek. I can read and understand French but I can't speak it.

Well, you've proved you're not a uni-lingual standard American. I assume you're teaching the boys Polish (if not others) so they'll be more than the typical American too. :D
