No Stupid Questions

English, bad english and worse Finnish.

Kidding, after 20 years in Finland my Finnish is just bad.

I natively speak English. I used to be somewhat competent for my age in French because as a child I was in French classes, I gave those up at some point due to a lack of interest. I've attempted to learn Mandarin, Korean, and German without much commitment. Now I'm learning Spanish which is coming along, but I lack confidence in it.

I know 2 languages I'm 100% confident. I know another one where I'm 75% confident that I'll understand and can reply in an understandable way. I know another one 25% I can get by for daily basic things. And I know one where I only know the swear words.

Flemisch.

I want to say spanish, german and english, but the honest answer is none

Native Spanish, very good Catalan, good English and some (not enough to speak them) Portuguese, Italian and French.

Bangla mainly and sometimes English but pretty less in daily life (I do understand more languages but I just don't speak them)

English, and I have some very poor Gaeilge (Irish).

Native Norwegian, fluent in English, can struggle through childrens' comic books in German and sort of get by in Egyptian Arabic (or at least I could back in the day, but it's been a while).

Spanish native. I got bored with English so I moved on to learning Català 🤣

English, Russian, Serbo-Chroatian, a bit of Ukrainian. Very little of Deutsch.

I only speak english and bad english

American English with a specialty in the dialect of American Regulatory Legalese.

Spanish, Arabic, and Irish I used to be able to read and write, but was always terrible at understanding any of them spoken.

I learned bits of German by proxy from having friends stationed at Heidelberg.

Since Lemmy apparently has a ton of people who are bilingual — how do I as a 31 year old man that knows enough Spanish to say 'Thank you, where is the bathroom?' and frequently watches anime in subtitles gain another language? I'm open to all suggestions, except bad ones.

So i'm fluent in English and a specific proto-sign language that as far as i know only a few hundred people sign. I can order food and ask where the toilet is in about 30-50 languages, depending on the day. My Spanish and German are rusty: i have production issues but my receptive is competent. All my other romance languages (except basque and romanian, i haven't looked at those at all) are decent enough to travel and make an ass of myself. My germanic and nordic languages are worse than my romance ones. Do not ask me anything in Afrikaans I will assume you are drunk.

Finnish, German, English, Ukrainian, Estonian, Swedish, Latvian, Dutch, Lithuanian, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French. A little Italian and Portuguese as well. I did manage to explain some simple things in Czech some days ago, and I can read south-Slavic languages surprisingly well. And often decipher the main point of a text in Romanian.

Almost no Hungarian or Mandarin, though very simple questions are possible anyway. And then of course I can read Norwegian and Danish reasonably well, because if you know Swedish, English, German and Dutch, you already know Danish. And for a similar reason, Slovak goes.

I can speak less than five words of Albanian, Basque, Greek, Welsh, Breton, any Gaelic language or any Sámi language. Those are something should probably learn a bit, at least.

Native Dutch, fluent English, fluent German and French, I can carry a conversation in Spanish and Italian, and some baby steps in Japanese.

A bit of English and some Japanese...

english, hungarian, some dutch. if I'm pressed, i also know a little german.

Norwegian, Danish and English.

You could add Swedish, but only because of being Norwegian, i can understand Swedish. I speak Danish because i live in Denmark.

Finnish, English and technically some Swedish. Technically because I refuse to talk it

• German (native)
• English (pretty well I hope; half my work life and almost all my free time spent on the internet, shows, books,... has been happening in English since, like, 8th grade)
• Japanese (learning; enough for talking about food, the weather, hobbies,... in somewhat acceptable grammar 😄)

Just two, don't wanna say which for privacy reasons.

I do want learn Dutch though. I think it sounds whimsical, and I'd love to meet a Dutch woman that can beat my ass (i heard they're headstrong and dont take any shit).

Just one, American.
