We raised the level for the German vs Swedish vs Norwegian vs Dutch language challenge! This time the participants need to use only their native languages to communicate, without prior learning of each other's languages. Can they understand each other based purely on the mutual intelligibility phenomenon? Are those Germanic languages similar enough to hold a conversation?
