I’m from the US and English is the only language I speak fluently.
Dutch but I live in England. Speak Dutch an English fluently and French and German reasonably well.
From Germany and i speak German, English and Spanish. I can survive daily life in French and Catalan, but its pretty rough. Currently, i am learning Persian :)
From Croatia, I’m multilingual!
English
Croatian
Serbian
Bosnian
Serbo-croatian
Montenegrin
Probably missing some.
Slovenian? Or don’t I dare ask that?
Slovenian is different, it is similar and could understand something but don’t know it.
I’m from the UK and speak English and am fluent in British Sign Language. I can speak enough French and Spanish to navigate a short holiday, which means I suck at both.
Swedish: Native English: Fluent to the point where it might as well be native Spanish: Alright, probably upper B2
Önskar att vi hade ett lite mer aktiv community på lemmy, men ałła som kan svenska kan tydligen också engelska och behöver tydligen ingen svenskspråkig community eller så ^^
Jag gör.mitt bästa för att hålla lite liv i [email protected]. Jag är inte jättebra på att posta annat än nyheter jag bryr mig om dock, vilket leder till lite enformighet.
Oj av någon anledning har jag inte joinat den än. Fortsätt så, jag själv bor nu i Korea därför är det ännu svårare att bara se något man kan post om just Sverige, men ville hålla mig uppdaterat.
Och oss som lära sig svenska kan också följa med och kanske öva med riktig svensk folk. Det låter kul
Jeg er i færd med at lære dansk (og norsk), men jeg kan forstå næsten alt I har skrevet.
Vi kan titta på serien “bron” tillsammans :D
From the Netherlands. I speak English and Dutch pretty much on the same level. I can work my way around German if I’ve been in a German speaking country for a couple of days. I can speak French if I really need to and I’m currently learning Portuguese. Understanding Portuguese has made me also understand Italian and Spanish a bit better.
Dutch too. Fluent in English, my French is quite good and I can manage German (though my grammar is horrible).
I did learn Latin so I understand Italian and Spanish if it’s written and not too complex.
Also US
English of course
I took a few years of French in middle and high school, not much of it stuck. A couple basic words and phrases, and if they speak slowly and clearly I can usually get the gist of what someone is saying and fake my way through some reading.
The story of my French education is a mess, full of long term substitutes, substitute-substitutes, a sad lonely man whose spirit was absolutely broken by the kids who had him first semester before I had him and got fired a couple weeks before the end of the school year, and a lady who was absolutely baffled by the fact that her French 3 class barely spoke any French because the first 2 years of our French education was a total waste.
A handful of Spanish words and phrases from middle school “exploratory” Spanish class for a couple months and working in a warehouse for a few years where I was one of only a handful of native English speakers, but nowhere close to conversational.
And I’ve been teaching myself Esperanto, which has been going rather well. It’s hard to say how conversational I am because there’s not a whole lot of esperantists running around to chat with, but I’m reading at probably about a 2nd grade level, which is something I suppose.
Born & raised in the US, lived in Poland for the past several years. Speak a good bit of polish, enough to navigate most interactions with strangers but not enough for deep conversations with the father-in-law.
The second part is easy to answer:
- German
- Polish
- Swedish
- English
- Korean (just started learning.
The first part is a bit more complicated, depending on what you are actually asking, where and who you are.
- If you’re asking where I live then it’s Korea.
- If you’re asking where I came from to Korea then it’s Sweden where I lived for 15 years
- If you’re asking what nationality I feed I belong to with my heart then it’s Germany where all my ancestors are from
- If you’re asking where I was born then it’s Poland
I hope you his answers your question.
Not completely, there are 2 Korea’s. But since internet access in one is extremily limited, I can make an educated guess in which one you live right now.
Nice track record by the way.
Ah yeah :D so South Korea, just for the record ^^
US. English is the only language I know and I’m pretty fuckin bad at it lol.
I’m from Japan and Japanese is my first language. I hate it.
I hate it.
Can you elaborate?
Nope. Too much reasons to hate this country.
Talked to two Japanese students who went to Europe because they hated their home country, like you do. Both were adamant they would have become a number in the suicide statistic if they wouldn’t have gotten out of the country. They didn’t plan on returning, ever.
Just saying there is a way out, I guess that’s what I thought was needed to be said.
That’s good to hear. I’m planning to study in Europe.
I also wonder, what is the hubbub
Which part? Being from Japan or the language?
Both.
Ireland. First language English, second Irish (but only in the education system), learning Russian
US. Fluent in English but I can speak enough spanish to do most everyday things. I am learning Japanese, and while I can read and understand about half of it, I can’t pronounce shit and haven’t bothered practicing since I just want to read it.
Nice try glowy
glowy?
Hi! I’m French, living in Germany, fluent in French, German, and English, conversational Japanese
