I always thought of Dutch being in the middle of English and German, so I can sort of read it... Nothing is close to Finnish, except Estonian, but there are even fewer people speaking that! Be careful with the Minidisc if you need to crank the volume that high up - you might damage the speakers if you accidentally switch to another source! We've
