RC: yeah, pretty much. Xhosa is a really hard language to master for a non-native speaker, as you well know, due to the actual formation of the sounds. Ash moved to SA when he was about 5, iirc. Afrikaans is very similar to Dutch though.

You South African/raised/lived there?

Fluent in both English and Korean(Korean was actually my first language, even though I grew up in the US), but I can speak and understand some Spanish, but of course that is expected growing up in California.

Nope! I remember you saying something about SA in the past, but I wasn't aware of the direct connection. You were born there, as opposed to moving there as an adult, I take it?

French, German (+ the local dialect which is close to german, due to some obvious reasons) and English ... if I had to learn another one it would be Russian, dunno why I have always been attracted by this language
