So.... languages

[dlsafrica]

I just wrote my first Norwegian poem. It's the first time I've written anything in Norsk. I've been learning since mid July.  (I wrote three songs in Portugues and English about half a decade ago)

Congrats! I find the Nordic languages (and other things: food, flags, landscape) very interesting. I have Nordic blood, but it is unclear whether it's Norwegian or Swedish.

I don't know any languages proficiently besides English. I was recently in the Dutch Caribbean (which, incidentally speaks natively Papiamento, and English as a lingua franca), and it was immensely cool seeing all the Dutch signage. Ilove how Dutch looks and especially sounds. I flirted with conlanging (constructed languages) for a bit, and tried to use Dutch and Spanish systems (both of which exist in Papiamento, but with a mix of other language characteristics). But I hit a creative dead end.
