and above all if the language isn't very popular

About useful tools, I look up in two dictionaries online:

http://www.wordreference.com/ this one for english

http://www.wiktionary.org/ and wiktionary for finnish

I'm still learning english. I'm not pleased with my current English knowledge. :lol:
At the moment I learn French. When my french is good enough for a trip to France, I want learn an other language. That language must be absolutly different from french, otherwise I mash up the vocabularies.
I want learn a fourth language.

By the way, dict.cc is a great online-dictionary and need more support. Everybody can contribute to the dictionary and review translations.
Recently Italian-German left the beta phase.
http://browse.dict.cc/ Those languages are still in the beta phase. There's also a wishlist for languages. I would love to see Finnish in the beta-dictionary list. :)

I want to learn Swedish Finnish and Icelandic before I die.

I'm super lazy so it won't happen but being quadra lingual would be badass eh?

Very feeble attempt #1:
Es importante que americanos hablar alguno o poco espanol porque son muchos latinamericos en el estadios unidos.... pedir las direcciones o las comidas en espanol a los hablantes nativos es simpatico y facilita multiculturalismo. Tambien, es el idioma muy facil.

Yo no puedo escribir accentos o el 'n' con una tilde en el teclado de ingles sin la tecla de 'alt'......

Spanish is/was my first language but I've never learned how to write it. And because I never use it, I can't speak it very well anymore but I understand.

I speak also german, bernese swissgerman, french and a little english.

At the moment I'm learning finnish but one day I'd like to learn polish and icelandic too... :lol:

I have Rosetta Stone with 13 languages. Provided my application to Denmark is accepted, I am willing to mail any to whoever would like a copy once I make it to Europe. The languages I have are: Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish(both Spain and Latin America), and Chinese.

Scandinavian languages and Finnish are difficult to find, but I am working on it.

With all the Muslims living in Denmark/norway/wherever it doesn't seem like they are declining applications.

You live in Norfolk? I have family there man! I'm 20 minutes outside of DC
