Actually, this is something I'd like to understand: Speaking Moroccan Arabic would I be able to talk to an Egyptian without any knowledge whatsoever of Classical Arabic? How about the other way around? Are the "dialects" just like the different variants of English, or are they more like French, Italian, and Portuguese?
Let's chat on FB about this. Otherwise it will be a huuuge post and I can't be arsed to write much at the moment.

english is my forte, korean is conversational (and i can read and write it much easier than i can speak it on the spot), french was my high school language and i can get by. spanish technically, it was my kindergarten/summer school language, so i can get by again, but mainly just the typical phrases and words that most americans know just because of the population of spanish-speaking people that live in the united states.

Norwegian, English fluently. Can read Danish and Swedish no probs. Can understand Swedish without much difficulty. Danish people have to talk slow in order for me to understand them :P
Dabbled in German during high school, so I can understand it enough to get by.
Taken two courses in Japanese. I suck at actually practising it tho, my vocabulary is terrible. Last year I could write about the same amount of kanji the average kindergardener can.
Want to learn Icelandic at some point.

Don't let this make you feel bad about it.
Some of my students complain they know as much X as a Y-year-old kid, and I have to remind them every single time they speak way better Portuguese (and English... or Norwegian, in your case) than the average Japanese kid
