I have a 600 day streak on Duolingo in Japanese. So yeah I know English and JavaScript.

1. Danish
2. Swedish
3. German
4. English
5. Japanese
6. French

Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian all on master level,

English learned in school as secondary language.

Can understand all the other balkan languages to some degree.

• Spanish (native)
• Portuguese (fluent)
• English (fluent)
• Italian (understand 99% but speak very badly)
• Russian (very basic and haven’t trained in years, but enough that I was able to tourist around Russia a decade ago)

I’ve also studied some German but I don’t think it’s at any level worth mentioning. I can also say the phrase “Sorry I don’t speak X, do you speak English?” In:

• German
• Dutch
• French
• Finnish (I can also say the weather is bad/good and obviously Perkele hahah)

Essentially every country that I’ve visited I can at least ask the person if they speak English, I consider it rude to ask that question in English.

English and French fluently. English is my mother tongue. French I learned in an immersion program in primary school. I didn’t study french at all in highschool or postsecondary, and always hated it during primary because my parents put me in immersion to “challenge” me. I started working for the Canadian federal government after uni, and they have pretty robust training programs for getting to full french fluency from any starting skill level. Plus, there’s a bit of a glass ceiling for monolingual public servants in the federal government.

Recently started dating a Chinese girl and so I’m trying to teach myself a bit of Chinese. It’s not as hard as I expected it to be, but it is very hard. In many ways it’s the opposite experience of learning French relative to English. Learning French, the vocabulary is pretty easy and the grammar is very hard. Learning Chinese, the grammar is dead easy but the vocabulary is really hard.

Whoa, lady, I only speak two languages, English and bad English.

English

Spanglish

Some SQL

I’m fluent/native-level in English + my native language (not disclosing)

With Japanese I’m semi-fluent in conversations, and intermediate-advanced in reading and comprehension

German I understand at an intermediate level but very bad at speaking

And I know some beginner-intermediate level Chinese.

I also hope to learn Norwegian and Korean on top of that.

English is my native language. I have a smattering of Malay from early childhood (my mother’s first language), and have limited proficiency in ASL, German, Spanish, Italian, Irish, French, and Finnish (my proudest language moment was purchasing an apple from an old farmer in Helsinki who spoke no English). I also know a tiny amount of Japanese.

I’m contemplating whether to work on my existing proficiency or add a con-lang to the mix like Esperanto or Belter Creole.
