500 to 600 consistently, but there are several I’ve never heard of. I guess two years of Spanish 1 pays off.

I’ll clear my cache and try again.

I know I could do better.

BTW, I don’t speak any other language.

500 but second guessed myself on one, so I could have had 1 more correct.

I like to think I have a good ear for languages and I’ve been around enough internationals (plus time abroad), that I’ve heard a lot of different languages. I took German, Spanish, Old English, and Chinese as a student, and used Rosetta Stone to learn Danish a few years ago. My friends who were native and near-native Danish speakers said I did pretty well for learning from the computer. And as luck would have it, I have a friend who spent 6 months in Iceland and I spent a little time looking at the language, so that was easy to pick out.

I always have a hard time with Portuguese. I don’t know why.

Round two (didn’t clear my cache)

450

I think the faster I answer the better I do.

Portuguese was a surprise. Sounds much different than Spanish
