OMGoodness, katya, how can you keep all of that straight?? English and Tengwar are enough for me, I don't think I could learn any more without falling seriously behind in real life
I did learn German in high school and got pretty good, but at least the characters are the same (except the double-s, which looks like a capital "B" with a long tail, and some diacritical marks over the vowels). My proudest non-native language moment: I was mistaken for a German by a Swiss shopkeeper in Zermatt! (this was only after a few words of greeting - she soon discovered her mistake. But I was very proud that my accent was good, because I had worked extremely hard on it. I think the accent is very important, as well as the words - some people think as long as you get the words right, the accent doesn't really matter, and they absolutely massacre the language!!)
