Hello and welcome

Hello Mr C welcome to the forum

[Alley]

I was only asking because I have Norwegian penpals and am getting interested in the country, no worries. Draw the line at learning the language though

Why Norwegian is the easiest language for English speakers to learn

[diamond lil]

My god. There's tenses there that I didn't even know existed in English nevermind Norwegian !

Thank you, Alley! Your link reminded me about a line of thought that I would like to share. If the SHTF very fast there will be plenty of angry people speaking the "wrong" language, regardless of what language you speak... Would it be a smart, or rather cunning, to start to use a neutral language like Esperanto?

I find that having studied Latin helps me pick up other European languages easily. I'd love to have a go at Esperanto.
However, English seems to be spoken by most people in Europe, I don't think there would be problems communicating here.
If I was with people who couldn't speak English I'd have to resort to drawing pictures. Or just speaking English louder

[Commissum]

I see this "speaking louder" strategy now and then, not only English people use it

There is a lot of Latin in Esperanto, you would not have any problem learning Esperanto, Alley!
