It was fun guessing. I am happy to have found your blog. I'm from Sweden, I speak Swedish, English, French, Spanish, a little German and a little Italian too. I can understand some phrases in Finnish and of course I understand Norvegian and Danish since I'm Swedish. I am really fond of languages so I enjoyed your blog.
