I was intrigued to to get the following results:

Malay/Indonesian - 9
French - 24
Russian - 20
Polish - 14
Chinese - 18
Hebrew - 20
Swedish - 16
Turkish - 6

I am already learning all of the above languages except Turkish, and I am fairly fluent in French and Russian, but they are my favourite languages. I haven't scored myself for German as I feel it is almost native language status. I haven't scored other languages that I have learnt but have lost interest in for the moment. That interest may pick up in the future.

I am only including Turkish because I picked up a good Turkish diary cheaply and got interested.

I did some more languages.

Spanish - 20
Portuguese - 15
Icelandic - 9

I became interested in Icelandic after reading a thriller by Desmond Bagley, Running Blind. I followed the hero's progress with a large map of Iceland. I have taped a couple of movies from Iceland from our multicultural television station in Melbourne.
