Fun stuff! Though, it seemed like if Norwegian was an option, it was always
Norwegian. :)

I keep guessing wrong on Samoan. Next time I don't recognize a language,
I'll guess Samoan.

850 in one attempt - but, then again "guessing what language someone speaks"
has always been by unique (and utterly useless) superpower. I'd prefer my
superpower to be flying, but hey.

It's funny when they play you the same clip twice in a row.

I heard one clip three times in a row.
I played it for a couple of hours one day recently. My high score was
around 900.

While I am familiar with the usages of "slash" in speech as a conjunction,
I'm not familiar with the examples where it is used at the start of a
sentence. And I also have never seen it completely written out. I would be
much more likely to write "going to the party / see you soon" instead of
"going to the party slash see you soon".
I also was not aware of its usage as a conjunction--what a pleasant
surprise!

Doing my assignments slash reading this stuff. It is so interesting! I love
it! Slash, I find myself wanting to use the word 'slash' more often!
