Considering I’m half deaf and have difficulty with English, not too many.

Very cool! I’ve played several rounds, but 300 is the best I have done so far.

Wow, fun but tough! I played about 7 rounds and never got above 400. Some of these languages I’ve never heard of... are they actual “languages” or just dialects... or is that just semantics?

I scored 550. My family is Macedonian, so I was able to recognize most of the Slavic languages. And I recognized Gujarati, because my sister-in-law’s family is Indian. (That woman on the recording sounded JUST like her mother. LOL!)

My 'puter won't pick up the audio. I have a question for you. What is former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Cretien saying and is this supposed to be English?

At least we now have a PM who can be understood in both English and French!

I got 650, but that was hard! Both my Bangla samples contained the world Bangla or I would have done a lot worse! Also, there was one sample with an African accent speaking French. I heard the African so I thought African, but then I understood all the words, and they were French. Tricky!

No thanks, it’s obvious this is a project of an NSA/CIA/Soros front collecting info to be employed after Marshall’s (sic) law is brought by Congress upon youse suckers.

I failed. I know at least 20 words in over 8 languages and I cannot break 350 in any trial.

Hit 500 fairly easily. Languages studied/learned/spoken in my home: English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Arabic. That helps. Haven’t traveled nearly as widely as I’d like, but grew up in multi-cultural metropolitan city.
