I know some people are learning Russian, and lo and behold, there is a Russian translation of the reason we are all here!

Oh, wow, I just found a "Dirty Talk" section in Norwegian on Memrise.
Some of the things one can learn on the internet!

Haha, that reminds me of the time Minna was looking for appropriate Danish curses for Admiral Olsen.  If Sigrun (or Trond) ever uncorks some swear words, I guess you can step right up!  (Well, Fimbulvarg and Fenris too...)

Different kind of "dirty talk."  ;)  (The kind that stipulates a winky face)

Oh! Ahahah so you guys meant swearing. *wipes brow*
Here "dirty talk" primarily means...something else that I don't think anyone would want to hear from Trond O____O or possibly Sigrun...actually I dunno, there are some Sigrun fan boys out there but I wouldn't know...

But yeah! That sounds like cool stuff to know :P

Perhaps you have plans to play some RPGs with people in Swedish, then?

Heh, no...
Learning languages isn't exactly a common thing, here.  As far as I know, I'm the only person in my group of friends who's trying to learn one.  Maybe if I do the SSSS rpg, though...

Same here, except with French :/ I ask my friends "what can I actually use it for??" and the amount of times they reply only with eyebrow wiggles is horrifying. I can't even use it for SSSS stuffs :P

That's an advantage of growing up in a non-English-speaking country. Here, you get strange looks if you haven't learned a foreign language (or at least tried and failed to do so). And one of the goals of the European Commission is that every EU citizen should at least be able to communicate in two foreign languages (although we're still far from achieving that).

I personally view it more as a "yayy, I still have five years to learn the language, that's plenty!" than a "urgh, five more years to go".
