Hencke, which languages have you spoken with Ziad in? Have you tried Swedish or Finnish for example? If you did, how did he do?

I only spoke to him in English and Spanish, both of which he handled quite well. IIRC we also interchanged a couple of lines in Swedish in text chat, but that was too short to form an opinion about his level. He declined to try Finnish since it was many years ago that he learned it and he would have needed a few days to brush up.
