Great Language Game
It is quite possibly the most fun I have had in years. I can now identify South Efate as well as any Vanuatan 
Managed 1300 on my third attempt- post your scores!

Fun! Got 400 on my first attempt
How can you get 1300 in one go? My other attempts scored 350 ish, but there don't seem to be enough questions to score over 1000

it keeps going till you lose all three lives, no fixed number of questions.
TanteRose · 08/03/2014 02:08
Ah right - yes, just got 650! I got my Estonian and Latvian mixed up

JessieMcJessie · 08/03/2014 02:18
Yes, I was very weak on Serbian vs Bosnian. The shame 
.
NigellasDealer · 08/03/2014 02:27
hmm yes some of them are way easier than others - i mean Greek or Welsh - bit of a no brainer! but Macedonian/Croatian?? ffs
TanteRose · 08/03/2014 02:52

Such a lovely game!
Gutted to have ended it by being unable to distinguish between Ukrainian and Serbian. Was shocked to have understood the clip, though- just from intermediate Russian. Several languages for the price of one. :)
