Milan:
to answer your question, I think (and others might correct me if I'm not 100% accurate (not pun intended).First figure out how many languages you speak.
Then for each language, grab a sheet of paper.
Write down on a piece of paper, (in microscopic letters) every single word that you know on that language.do so for every piece of paper.
now, a full sheet, of paper filled with words, means you speak that language %100. if you filled both sides, then its %200 obviously.
Half a sheet is %50 and so on..
I believe this is what everyone is doing, am I correct?

spanish- How similar (if at all) are Danish, Icelandic and Swedish? Like Italian, French Spanish?detritus
- probably answered your own question there, nairn. that would be my guess7point34
- Your guessing is useless to me - I need cold, hard data - facts on the ground, if you will. My Iron Fist will tolerate no less.detritus
- iron fist? is that like kung-fu action grip? if so, can you recommend a good gel for shaving one's palms?7point34
- icelandic is old norse. danish is similar but distant. English has nothing to do with it.********
- I'm told danish, swedish and norwegian can perfectly understand each other with no effort.********
- thst id true witt, but icelandic is as far from them as finnish********
- I had a Finnish ex - it was veh funny listening to her talk to her (nutty) mother on the 'phone.detritus
- Yeah. I reckon it is. In fact, Icelandic and Basque are the oldest languages in Europe with no change.********
- So we better fucking cheer the lot, you crazy nitwit bastards!********
- That and a LOL.********

i once unintentionally insulted an ex. she was swedish and i asked her what root/ type of language it was. i said i was sure it wasn't a romantic language, and she looked very upset. she said it was very beautiful. i told her i didn't doubt that but i mean that it didn't have a latin root. (she was american of swedish decent, i figured she would have known what i meant.)

It never well entered my brain that the french, italian, or spaniards are so picky and play like they can't understand each other or portuguese. For any portuguese (even the idiot one - and those are many :P), french, spanish or italian is not incomprehensible and it only takes a few weeks to get it. I guess that occurs with many other languages. It you want to learn it - you'll do it quickly.
- i would estimate reading would be easy for all of those... but speaking would be trickier7point34
- as all of those are romantic yet have differences in vowels, consonants and accents7point34
- Indeed. Also known that the ukranian and PT are easiest to learn accents, maybe due to phonetic structure.********
- I mean. PT and Ukraine people have an advantage because they have a wider phonetic spectrum.********
- So they say.********
