    Swedish, Danish, French, Norwegian and English.
    Trying to get semi-fluent in Vietnamese next but it's proving to be harder than I thought :)

    If you speak very very slowly, I might understand half. I'm better at reading it but no expert.

    Norwegian I read and understand pretty good.

    And yes, this might be the worst thread-derailment...ever...

    9) Swahili (I have many friends from Tanzania and Rwanda)

    That reminds me of a lesson I learned from a friend while in Europe. When I traveled two thousand miles West from New York I encountered one culture and one language. When he traveled two thousand miles East from Italy...Well , you get the picture.;)

    Now I know no Norwegian. It sounds like a good soap. But maybe our Norwegian friends have a different style of marketing.

    " we need a good descriptive word for our soap??"

    " what about BRUTAL".

    Wow. It makes me think of a huge Norseman shaving with a sword.

    Thought I'd see if anyone here have had any experience with this soap now?
    There are not a whole lot of recent reviews out there.

    Did you get the 'dented-tin' discount?
    I'm very curious to hear how it works out for you.
