    I can read, understand and write English pretty well, and speak it with an awful accent. Studied German for three years but most of it is gone; I can still read most texts with a dictionary though.

    Have been studying Arabic ever since, not much advance there... Can understand some sentences in the literal dialect. Same applies to Persian, and Latin in an even lesser degree.

    Can speak Kurdish extremely minimal, and read little better than that (in both alphabets). Studies are going on slowly yet steadily.

    I'm 90% done with the Greek alphabet and have learnt a lot of words. Still a long way to go.

    I can say "Shalom aleikhem" in Hebrew. Really did it!

    I know what
