    Default Foreign Languages

    Eh, which foreign languages do you know or want to learn? Right now, being Dutch, my English is near-perfect, I can speak French pretty well, and can save myself in German and Japanese. I want to learn Arabic (and have started learning today with an old learning pack thing we had lying around), Persian, Mandarin Chinese (hopefully in University next year), and Korean.

    I know Hebrew. Not fluently, but enough to get by.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
