        Patience is a virtue in solving meta puzzles. lots of steps, but very logical

                    There's a storefront near me called the Polish Lounge and for a split second each time I think, wow, cool, I bet they have some awesome food. Then I remember it's a nail salon.
                    • Abide 2s · 2022-04-25T19:56:47.746Z

                        Laughed out loud at this! -- And the Ultimate Nails in our town wasn't an upscale hardware store either.

                            Nice puzzle, Adam! I had the mechanism but had to dig around a bit to get all the letters for the meta answer! Thank you!
                            • whimsy 19:33 · 2022-04-25T23:30:11.736Z
                              Finally reached the answer after determining that S-P-A-H-S-C was not HELLO in any language! :) Thanks, Adam -- Great puzzle!

                                    I never did find the one for Latin (Google tells me hello in Latin is "salve") but the other 5 were enough. Nice puzzle!

                                      Grazie, gracias, todah, blagodaryu vas, mahalo, gratia tibi est... And if any is wrong blame Google it or bad memories but thanks to you all the same for this delightful puzzle.

                                        More to this one than met the eye - fun!

                                            Cute ! I was lost thinking that I was looking for "French" Quarter instead of "Latin". I knew Sorbonne was in Paris and didn't put 2 & 2 together.

                                              Awesome one! Though I did want the answer to be Python

                                                Very nice Adam. I was looking for "loan" words in those languages when all of a sudden it hit me, "Tom, do what Adam is telling you." CHAO was my keystone. Fun puzzle.

                                                  Well once I stopped trying to spell the Russian one that sounds like “suasible” .. stradsVOOdsyay??….
