Arabic, yes that's true. sometimes when I'm looking at a new language, no
matter what it is, it's always shocking how similar some words are to
English.
The person who brought up things about Germanic / German, very true. German
can be linked to almost every area of the World. German is very similar to
English, probably because English speakers borrowed from it heavily.
Latin is like a Worldly language. I think everyone should know at least
some of it because it's used so often in Science.
Can't stand french though lol, I hate it. Horrible language. (My Opinion).
I know English, pretty good amount in German, some Arabic, but not enough
to talk for more than a few minutes, little Latin, Non Standard latin, a
few Asian words.... Not much...
SMaLL amount of Italien, mainly because of the movies I have in it.
And like 3 sentences of Russian. Not easy to learn though for me.
I'd like to learn more German, Italian, Russian, Latin, Non standard Latin,
Arabic, and Portuguese... I think I spelled that wrong. But those are my
main ones.
