Croats too.

I like to see languages other than English in Local Chat and I try to read what those people are typing. I rarely, if ever, have a clue as to what they're saying but I do read it because it's different and interesting. There are several languages I can pick-up the general meaning from and they include Dutch (obviously because it's basically 40% English and 40% German ), German and most Slavic languages. The only languages I can't understand are Scandinavian languages. And Hungarian. Never understood a word of what those crazy Hungarians were saying and so far have only mastered the usage of "szia" instead of "hi".

Languages and diversity FTW.

Minä en ymmärrä miksi pelaisin eurooppalaisilla servereillä, koska en ymmärrä sanaakaan saksaa tai ranskaa, eivätkä saksalaiset tai ranskalaiset vastaavasti ymmärrä sanaakaan suomea. Kirjoitan ymmärrettävää englantia ja ymmärrän englantia loistavasti, kiitos suomalaisen koulujärjestelmän, joten pelaan amerikkalaisilla servereillä.

There's the point. Basically I'm saying that I don't understand why should I play at european servers 'cause I don't understand German or French at all (besides panzerwagen und bier) and nobody understands Finnish. I write English kinda well and I' say I understand English as well as native speakers (thanks to finnish education), so I play at american servers (or districts, whatever).
