Default Language quiz

Perhaps you know how to say hello and goodbye in a couple of other languages, but how good are you with general language knowledge? Do you know what "c'est la vie" actually means or do you just say it all the time, along with "chic" and "carpe diem"?

Let's see, quick: Can you decipher certain Asian scripts from one another by simply looking at them? And is Farsi read from left to right or right to left?

Here's one way to find out if you are, in fact, a citizen of the world and a master of languages..

9 out of 14

Solid, very solid. You totally know a thing or two about this language business, which could help you in your jet-setting career or world travels... or watching movies sans subtitles.

3 out of 14.

Oh dear. Well, that's OK. You probably know other amazing more important knowledge that's far more relevant, right? Right. This doesn't really mean anything. Maybe.

You can get by. You probably didn't guess your whole way through this and it's an alright effort. A little brushing up and you'll be on your way to a perfect score in no time.

Uh-ma-zing! You speak all the languages of the world apparently, the only logical explanation of being able to ace this quiz so flawlessly. Go ahead with your cultured-bad self!
