  • I can read Arabic script mostly correct now, but I still can't speak it well.

    I'm ok at Japanese, but largely illiterate. There's too many kanji. I've gotten back into Mandarin too. I learned a lot of Old English (anglo-saxon) in college that I still retain for some reason. Possibly the least useful dead language that's still taught.

    • I'd like to learn some Arabic but I'm so intimated by Arabic script. I find it so hard to recognize the pieces and the ligatures wreck me

      • Arabic only has 28 letters, they just change their shape a bit so that they can connect with other letters, and by change their shape they simply lose what we call a "tail" and keep the "core", see the spoiler and tell me if you're still intimidated
