Who would learn Spanish or piano from a book or blog? – Backgammon has the same complexity as a language.

I would. Most of the backgammon I learned comes from here or from Hardy Hübener's website. And I learned a foreign language from a website well enough to write an application letter to a potential employer (OK, my CV was in English) and be called for an interview.

I love how the basically the rest of the world but most of Europe for sure phrases this sentence "I only speak two languages" whereas if you were an American you'd be a lot more 'proud' I guess is a nice way to put it. And when we say it generally that person doesn't speak it anywhere near as fluently as Tobias speaks English for eg.

In Switzerland, where he lives, bilinguals are a minority. Three languages are more standard.
