    Hope we mean the same thing, @Hal Pollner .
    I said I just “like(d)“ the sound of them but I wouldn't be surprised if Jackie spoke those languages.

    Another thing I like about written German is that every Noun is Capitalized!

    Well, if you like that, you may also like nominalized adjectives because they are also capitalized.:D

    For instance:
    "Das Haus ist schön." (This house is beautiful.) Here we have an adjective, not capitalized. As soon as you nominalise it: "Das Schöne an dem Haus..." (The beauty of this house...) it needs to be capitalized. Otherwise German would be too easy. :D
