Japanese may be the next progression since they use a number of Kanji (Chinese characters). Once you
mastered a few Chinese characters, it is mostly the pronunciation that changes but the meaning is often the
same or similar.

- Finnish. I would like to speak Finnish in order to drink Finlandia wodka. Also there
are lakes in Finland and that is cool.

- Serbian: to drink their raki.
- Polish: to drink their crappy beer.
- Swahili: to drink some unknown alcoholic solution in order to avoid getting food
poisoning from the water.
- Mongolian: to drink whatever they drink in Mongolia.
- Persian: to avoid drinking.
- Lebanese Arabic: to indulge in drinking anyway.



To this list, putting aside parody and in the best interests of safeguarding oneself,
may I suggest the following addition:

- Icelandic: to avoid accidentally drinking the "national drink" ("When it comes to
liquor, "BrennivĂ­n"is a national drink, a nasty schnapps made from potatoes and
flavoured with caraway. It is also called "Black Death", which explains a lot."
