I did an O-level in German, but definitely more than 20 years ago... And I only got C. It was my worst subject at school.

I never realised the Faroes had their own language. Is it most similar to Norwegian or Danish? (I just had to add Faroes to my dictionary - that's a bit sad that it wasn't there already)

I imagine it may be surviving better than many minority languages purely because of the isolation factor.

What was it like growing up somewhere that remote? Or is it just like everywhere else now?
