Lucas Morgan
>Icelandic: 20-30% written, basically 0% orally Seriously? I thought it was even more similar than Danish.
Adrian Edwards
I can understand both of my spanish speaking neighbours
I should have specified that I meant the old dude being interviewed, haha.
Lucas Bailey
England
Welsh: next to nothing Gaelic/Irish: next to nothing (even less than Welsh, in fact, for all intents, nothing at all) French: I can read that fine, but my spoken language had become rusty from disuse Dutch: understand a bit Norwegian: understand a little bit
John Jones
yeah i get that
Andrew Butler
Unfortunately not. We've drifted way too far from old norse (Icelandic is basically identical to old norse minus a few modernisations).
Hudson Rogers
>Icelandic is basically identical to old norse minus a few modernisations are you smoking something?
Landon Diaz
No? Of course it depends on if you're speaking about old west norse or old east norse, but I genuinely mean it. Icelanders can understand most of the old original Sagas without much difficulty.
Chase Ramirez
All post-sovok countries can understand russian. Russians can understand belarusians and ukrainians, polska is very close (literally russian words spell in Latin). In russian there are many french words which also can be understandable.
Jack Flores
Its not close to the old norse. Pretty close to old west norse, though, which is what I assume you meant.
Brayden Flores
>Of course it depends on if you're speaking about old west norse or old east norse I specified this. I guess I should have specified it in the original post.
Logan Collins
yes
Cooper Hall
>having neighbouring countries who speak a different language
imagine thinking that scotland, NI and wales are their own separate countries hehe

Korean : native speaker n writer Japanese : know few phrases and can awkwardly create a short sentence Chinese : very few phrases i learned when ive been to china Russian : very few phrases and alphabets because i was trying to learn it
Charles Evans
every time i've met danes here in norway, they always have thick accents. but people in danish tv commercials speak "standard danish" and are easy to understand.
90% for Loldova because of their mutt accent and I can swear in Hungarian
Isaiah Bell
100% pretty much
Aiden Phillips
They have some regional accents and americanisms that I have trouble keeping up with.
Jordan White
>Swedish: 5% spoken, 15% written >Danish: 1% spoken, 5% written >Norwegian: 3% spoken, 5% written >Estonian: 30% spoken, 30% written >Russian: 0% spoken, 0% written
By the way, many times I have noticed here, that Canadian English is more understandable to me. Or it might be Kremlin proxy bots.
Joseph Barnes
italian, spanish: some words here and there, sometimes entire sentences german(all varieties), dutch: can sometimes hear some french loanwords here and there english: only about 50% because my ears can't stand received pronunciation
Xavier Hughes
90% and only that because their accent is oddly similar to the Maritimer accent.
Sure, but you don't really need to know anything to graduate. That combined with never having to use it afterwards erodes whatever the schools managed to teach.
Daniel Lopez
