click on "Play mode"

you have to click on the countries where the language of each sticker is an official language. The stickers say "Talk to me" in all official languages of Europe

36/42 when I finally gave up with the idiotic system of not clearly showing me which languages I have already tried AND not letting me try a language again if I have thought it might be a certain languge spoken in two countries and tried to verify that by checking the amount of the countries in which the language's spoken without clicking anything on the map but just going back to the language menu. Brgh.
And when I clicked an incorrect option, it did give me another chance..
It was also annoying that some parts of the letters - such as a small "worm" under an S and a dot over E were very hard to see in a game like this...
And why oh why does the game randomize the locations of the bubbles every time I return to the bubble screen?

A nice idea, but terribly implemented :/

yes, the implementation is awful...
and I don't think we will get any T-shirts, I also filled in the fields, found a way around the stupid "browser email popup system" and sent them the data by normal email from Gmail, but that quiz is over a year old, so I don't expect anything

Got 32 / 59. Wow, I have even recognized Georgian. But it is true; the implementation leaves a lot to desire. It was also impossible to correct a mishappened entry even before getting the solution.

But the idea is nice.
Meine Angst, dass die Autokorrektur einmal etwas Obszönes ausspuckt, wichst täglich.

there are totally 60 points, so you must have missed one language. The linebreak of the stickers changes every time, so it's difficult to know which ones you have already done
when you have done all stickers, you get moving selections of countries on the map, making some sort of blinking effect. Or, if you have 60/60, which you can do by clicking "try again" until you have the correct countries, you come to the T-shirt winning screen

when I did it, I found out some languages like Albanian and Latvian with Google before doing the quiz, and then I looked some time at all the stickers (I have a poster with all the stickers, that was the reason why I found this quiz), and then when I did the quiz, I guessed all correctly, except Danish/Swedish/Norwegian
