Been messing about with google translate where you point your phone camera/tablet at the text and it translates it for you. Looks like it works really well. Just need to learn a foreign language now to make sure its translating it correctly
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I was talking to a Hungarian taxi driver here a few months ago, and he reckons its the hardest language in Europe if not the world to learn

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I seem to remember that somewhere back in the mists of my youth I was told that Hungarian and Basque are related to each other but have a completely different root to all the other Indo-European languages which is why they are so hard to learn.

No I suspect that was Hungarian and Finish.

Basque is one of the Cletics that our near neighbours insist on painting on road signs.

Celts in basques; that would have made Braveheart a DAMN site more interesting.

The Basque language and the Finno-Ugric languages (Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, etc) are unrelated to each other and unrelated to the other languages in Europe and are supposedly more difficult to learn as a result.

There's a piece of my university education I never expected to use again!

As a typical Brit, I find all foreign languages difficult to learn :)
