Question inspired by a conversation at work: how many languages can you count to ten in without googling or messing up? (Don’t even need to be fluent, literally just able to count from one to ten)
I’ll start:
- English
- French
- Spanish
- German
- Albanian
- Turkish
- Japanese
- Latin
Used to know esperanto, greek and mandarin at one point but forgot
-Espanol
-Francois
I'm fluid on the first two, and I'm still learning Japanese.
Mind you, speaking one Slavic language as a native means you can learn how to count in several other Slavic languages pretty fast, Polish being the exception as they 'distort' common Slavic roots in their own way.
Also, many people, especially older, that work in public services in many European countries still don't speak English, so you need to learn some basic phrases if you go there alone and pray they won't ask you too many subquestions.
