My dad got us Encarta when I was in high school and discovered this language module. Loved it. I spent hours on it and referred to it over the years. I even remember many of the proverbs. Like the others above I ended up going to college and graduate school for linguistics.
Ah, I remember exploring the world, hearing all the languages in the world, listening to the world music, and exploring Abu Simbel, Persepolis, the Colosseum and the Castle of Beaumaris :D
Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing! I was addicted to this. I loved hearing all the languages and practicing some of the proverbs. This and music/instruments of the world. So cool, thank you🤩
999alex9991 The original that I remember had a genuine Quebecois male voice doing it properly. The Spanish (Argentina) & Spanish (Castillian) are also unrecognisable and the other way round
LILLIAN! I never thought I'd hear your voice again!!!
