Who doesn’t love a punishing language quiz every now and then?

If you’re the type of language nerd who can’t back down from a challenge, then we entreat you to try your hand at the following quiz. We selected audio from eight different languages with varying levels of ubiquitousness (just enough to make you second-guess all your choices if you’re not already familiar with how they sound). It’s up to you to choose the correct one, but be warned — you’ll have to select your answer from among a series of choices that all sound very much like they could be correct.

Think you’ve got what it takes to cement your bragging rights? Take the quiz below to find out!

Don't just listen — learn to speak as well.
