Which Reminds Me

Alas, how to understand Europe! A blitz of Berlitz just won't do. How many languages will it take? Five, six, seven? No, that would not be enough, never enough. Berlitzing just won't get the job done. Modern languages will not help with the deciphering of cuneiform scripts and other forms of ancient gibberish. You will need some master linguists with Ph.D., no less. Needless to say. All these bad jokes about modern languages grate on the nerves because, anyway, it just goes to show that you're not really getting the picture.
