Como lengua materna, el español. (For my mother language, Spanish)

English being my second language.

日本語も少しできます。(I can also understand a little bit of Japanese). My first attempt at learning it was like 13 years ago, when I was 14. A later attempt was 7 years ago, didn't last much on them for lack of organisation but still retained a little bit more of knowledge. My third round is still ongoing and has crossed the year mark).

Besides those, some time during my high school days I also studied a bit of French and mostly Italian. I wouldn't be able to speak either fluently but I may grasp a little bit more than relying solely on mutual intelligibility.

Some languages I have interest in learning even if just a bit, in no particular order: Mandarin, Russian, Korean, German, Hokkien, Cantonese.

Greek, Dutch and English

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Dutch, German, French, English and what starts to become passable Slovak.

In French, it's "Quelles langues parlez-vous?"

I am a native Tigrigna speaker, fluent in English, conversational in Dutch and Tigre. I have learned Arabic and Chinese but I don't speak it very well.

[–] tiny@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

Native English speaker. I learned some French in school and enough Japanese to get through a judo match. I struggle to retain other languages. Everywhere I go everyone speaks English and it's hard to justify learning a new one even everyone in a 1000 mile radius speaks English.

Native German, fluent English, full working proficiency in Norwegian, (understand Swedish and Danish as a direct consequence), somewhat proficient in Dutch and French, and my Chinese is enough to get by. Couldn't hold a longer conversation though.

straylian, and that's about it

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hablo español de forma nativa. I can read, write and understand by ear English, but I refuse to speak it because the pronunciation rules of English are shit.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Or are they shite? You're right we're fucked.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 11 months ago

I mean. im not so good at english as a native speaker. near the end of college my friend and I traded transcripts and his comment was. you get pretty good grades. oh except in spanish. when I had classes that were straight up english classes I similarly did not do well.

I want to learn Russian and Chinese

[–] MonsieurArkadin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Only truly fluent in English.

Tetapi aku bisa bicara bahasa Indonesia. Ada komunitas bahasa indonesia dalam lemmy? Aku tidak bisa cari apa-apa.

J'ai etudié francais a l'université, mais maintenant j'ai oublié beaucoup.

I speak a little Chinese, but am fully illiterate in it.

انا بتهكي عربي شواي

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I’ve mostly got English and Japanese. English is pretty hard. I’m just a turtle.

英語と日本語が話せる。日本語は簡単だ。亀だけです。
