Think you miscolored Iceland, pretty sure most natives fall under the "Wait you learned a single word of Icelandic? You're pretty cool for a tourist.."

Slovenia always trying so hard not to be like the rest of the Balkans.

I hope this is true. I'm going to Spain in a few months and my Spanish is ok, but it's definitely Mexican Spanish and much slower than they speak in Spain. I'm gonna give it my best shot, so hopefully people are happy and not embarrassed for me and my mediocre grammar. I've been before but it's been almost 25 years and I was a lot more fluent then.

You needn't worry.The Spanish really appreciate attempts at Spanish in my experience, simply because you have so many people who don't bother their arse and just assume they speak English, which invariably they do in the service sector.

Why Brits are grey?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

True, kinda. But every foreigner I met who is not Russian learns at least some conversational Lithuanian really quickly.

Well crap, I've spent 4 months doing Norwegian on Duolingo. At least I might be able to read signs and stuff.

Learning is its own reward.

It'll be useful. Unless you're in maybe Oslo or Bergen, everything (signs, labels on all groceries, announcements, etc) is in Norsk and not everyone can/is willing to speak English, even Gen Y and younger.

Missed out on Wales there which is a bit from the pink collumn and a bit from the blue column.

The Spaniards like that?

I remember one time I was at a resort in Mexico and I asked reddit how service workers feel when foreign guests start speaking their language. Don’t remember what the hive mind said.

All I know is I asked for my drinks muy fuerte and I didn’t feel anything until I switched to cerveza. I watched them pour, I’m pretty sure the booze was watered down.
