Update to my previous message 
It looks like that I'm going to study Finno-Ugric languages starting this fall. It means that I could add Estonian, Hungarian and Northern Sami to my language list. If I improve my previous language skills, it is possible that in a couple of years I could be speaking Finnish, English, Swedish, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Northern Sami, Hungarian and Estonian That would be ten languages and I'd be more than satisfied. Too bad that my German is at a very modest level at the moment.

Ikke norsk? 
That one would be easy to learn with Swedish already under your belt. Then again, if you speak Swedish you wouldn't really need to bother with Norwegian, I guess.

the section of phrases to use in the bedroom. I always thought it was funny,
|
Definitely. I get a big boot out of one my (inferior, obviously) competitors in which there is all this "bedroom Spanish".
I keep wondering: do you learn the words for "Oh God, I'm coming", so you can shout them out at moments of ecstatic remove--or just keep the book handy so you can read them off during orgasms? |

That was my thought exactly. It's also funny how the phrases differ from culture to culture. My friend's Thai phrasebook had sentences like, "You are fierce like a Tiger," but my French phrasebook just said things like, "Tie me up!"

Memorize, bah? I would so keep that next to the bed. What could be more kinky than, "Hang on a second baby, I need to find the word for 'harder'."

I'd memorize it.
And randomly say it to people on MSN who don't speak French...
