LOL.

My best score was 550.

Twice now, I was wrong on Greek. Strange since my ex-wife is Greek and I spent countless hours/days/years listening to her family speak Greek.

I think there may be some dialects within certain languages that make this more difficult.

Also 550 and I missed Portuguese which is strange for me since I was stationed in The Azores for two years. Não faz mal. A fun exercise anyway

They cheat too -— on one, I heard an obviously african accident, and some African language was listed among the choices. But then I understood every word he was saying — the language was French, though his accent was. NOT. TRICKY.
