16 for French. Haven't done Spanish because I'm more sure I want to learn that language than I am for French. I'll do it for Italian, Portuguese, German, and Arabic (the other 4 languages I have various degrees of interest in learning) later today. Interesting test!

Now, here's the list for a Hong Kong young Chinese speaker:
American English: 18 Japanese: 12 French: 6 Korean: 4 Chaozhou (Teochew) Dialect: 3 Spanish/Portuguese/Italian: -2 Russian: -3 Czech/Polish: -7 So sad. It sounds better that I take French before learning Teochew, the language of my native town. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You're right, the link appears to be broken.

Sorry guys. Web server went down and I haven't spent the time to restore it. I've put up a copy of the test here:
http://reltuk.googlepages.com/lang_test.html This should be way more reliable (it's hosted by google, after all). Hope this helps, Enjoy, Aaron 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thank you reltuk. I have downloaded the page and it seems to be working offline. I got 16 for Portuguese and 12 for Chinese (Mandarin).
Great fun. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The only problem for me is that the difficulty of the language is a minus. For me, it'd be a plus. In fact, the writing system is a major part of why I'm learning Japanese.
