[quote=Anonymous]Braggart, sounds like you're Finnish, or Russo-Finnish, and you studied Indo-European languages (both living and dead) as second, third and fourth languages. Not an unusual path for Finns, at least during the Cold War. OK, but you grew up in multi-lingual Europe, not the East Coast of the US, and didn't jump between learning very difficult Asian tonal languages using non-phonetic writing systems and Indo -European languages. When you're up against 3,000 characters for basic literacy in Chinese, best to stick with learning to speak, write and write just two languages (possibly multiple dialects of Chinese) as a kid, Chinese and English. Add whatever you want as an adult. [/quote]
