Is there a FReeper in the house who would take on a serious debate on round-the-world TV in a second language, learned AFTER ADULTHOOD? I lived in Switzerland for 9 years and speak fluent German, Swiss-German, and French, and I am not stupid, yet I would not DREAM of being able to debate a few intelligent mother-tongue speakers in ANY of those languages.

Arnold takes on amazing challenges and does a da*n good job at it.

How come you you speak German and Swiss-German but not French and Swiss-French? No Italian? How would you say 80?
