We are three Swedish students who have chosen to make a language for our last-year school project. The language is based on the Germanic languages English, German and Swedish. For this we have made a survey with the purpose of finding out how understandable our language is depending on what languages you speak. We want people who speak English natively to do this survey.
The survery is anonymous and should only take a few minutes to finish. You can download the word document from filefront using this link: http://www.filefront.com/15460193/Enkt-Engelska.doc/
If you prefer, you can email us on Email Removed and we will send you an e-mail with the survey attached. The survey will also be attached later in this post, so you can copy it from there should you be afraid of downloading the file.
When you are done with the survey, please e-mail it back to us at Email Removed.
This is a very important part of our project and your help is very much appreciated.
