Fr? I've always been good at identifying common languages. I'll admit it can be a bit hard to differentiate between like swedish and norsk but I'm able to tell it's one of them yk. Portuguese and Spanish used to trip me up but I got the hang of it a while back. Maybe I got good at it because I made it a challenge to try and figure out what language someone is speaking when I hear it

I am actually able to identify it as Swedish through the ventilation shaft, and if I put my ear to it and actually listen it is really easy to make out what they are saying, but remember that we are talking about identifying a language by what you hear through the floorboards and like at least 2 meters of solid ground, with no open air in between. This is not the same as being able to identify a language when you actually hear it spoken.
