Only reading: Japanese, Arabic, Russian

English, and the teeniest, tiniest bit of Spanish.

My Spanish is in a southern accent, and doesn't even reach the fluency of a damn toddler.

I have more latin under my belt from medical terminology, which I guess is sort of a language of its own. I've been out of the field for over a decade, and I still do well with it casually reading publications that interest me. But I don't really have enough of the latin to equate to being able to speak latin, or even read it. Same with the greek that's folded into medicalese.

So just english in any real sense, though I can kinda read Spanish well enough I guess, as long as I have access to a dictionary lol.

English. Poorly.

Samples from the four I know:

My name is Leni.

Nimi mi li Leni.

Hake anni Leni.

-- -.-- / -. .- -- . / .. ... / .-.. . -. .. .-.-.-

Samples from ones I know selectively:

O Leni to'u i'oa.

Ko Leni toku ingoa.

Meu nome é Leni.

Je m'appelle Léni.

German, English, a little Dutch and Javascript

English and my native Serbian.

Ich habe Deutsch in der Schule gelernt. Ich benutze es sehr seltsam, aber ich habe fast nichts vergessen, weil unsere Lehrerinen sehr sehr Böse war. Deutsch in der Schule hat meine Leben 10 jahren verkurtzt.

Έχω μάθει και τα Ελληνικά. Ένα από τα όνειρά μου είναι να διαβάζω τα κείμενα στα αρχαία ελληνικά, αλλά αυτό ήταν τρόπο δύσκολο. Γιατί αποφάσισε να μαθαίνω πρότω τα νέα Ελληνικα, καί σύντομα τα αρχαία είναι πολύ πιό εύκολα.

I can understand a fair amount of Russian, but I can't necessarilly speak it as well.

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.

Polish

English

Learning German and Spanish

Cantonese (廣東話/粵語) is what I speak, Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) is what I write.

唔好彩嘅係，Google 仲未支援粵語翻譯，你可以試下用其他翻譯器，DDG 嗰個好似 OK

(Translation: Unfortunately, Google still doesn't support Cantonese translation. You can try other translators. The DDG one seems ok.)

Other than that, I also speak Mandarin (普通話/國語), which is the other spoken Chinese.

Ich spreche Deutsch, And I speak English, and I learn Russian.

Englisch deutsch français

Russian, English and some Japanese.

English natively und ich lerne Deustch (aber ich spreche nur ein bisschen)

I'm just here to Beetlejuice

Native English, conversational japanese, survival German (I was conversational at one point, but it's mostly gone), a tiny bit of french (same as German), very basic Spanish, and a tiny bit of Hebrew (I wanted to learn something in the semitic family and it seemed less intimidating than Arabic to start with)

English, Swedish, and Finnish.

English is the only language I'm even vaguely proficient in, really.

Le francais est le loin ma deuxieme langue la plus forte. Mais ce n'est toujours pas tres bon, et je dois passer beaucoup de temps pour ecrire dans francais, et generalement rechercher quelques mots ou expressions. Mais ma grammaire est assez bonne, je pense.

I also spent a few years learning Spanish, but almost none of it stuck. And a few years learning Korean while living in Korea. I learnt a few of the necessary words and phrases relating to restaurants and taxis, and some very rudimentary grammar. And being able to read the script is a neat party trick. And one year of actual Vietnamese education + a few more years of peripheral exposure to the language while I lived there. Even less of it stuck than the Spanish though.

I speak English. Je ne parle qu'un peu le français.

I am a native English speaker y hablo un poco español und ich sprache ein bisschen Deutch.

English, spanish , turkish.

I can understand , through mutual intelligibility , azerbaycani, portuguese... then some itallian and some french.

I studied german for 5 years in school and forgot it all.

English, Russian, Czech (used to be fluent, but haven't used in a while), Mandarin (a bit, still learning)

Portuguese, English, enough to understand Spanish, learning French now.

Depends on who you ask. I'm American and went to the UK. I was looking to pick up my rental car, you know, so I could drive on the wrong side of the road and found a sign that read, "rental car collection." I had to ask a local who was doing the collecting, because I don't speak English. " If I was collecting the car, it's a pick up. If they were collecting the car it's a drop off. So....

I also butcher German and Spanish pretty well.

Fluently? Only English. But I spent 20 years in the US military, nearly 8 of them living full-time in foreign countries. So I did my best to learn at least a little of the languages I was exposed to in my travels.

I was stationed in Japan for 3 years. I learned how to get around and order food in Japanese, plus some limited conversation. I'm actually studying to read the language now. I could read Hirigana and Katakana (the Japanese alphabets) when I lived there. But it takes their students their entire school lives to learn how to read Kanji (the complex Chinese-borrowed symbols that represent entire words), so that one will keep me busy for a while.

When I was stationed in Germany, I learned some basic German, thanks to having friendly neighbors who spoke nearly fluent English. They helped me correct and improve my German language skills. But I was only in the country for a couple years, so I didn't get very advanced with it.

I took 4 years of French in high school. I thought I was pretty decent at it, but every time I attempted to speak the language in France, the locals immediately switched over to English to converse with me.

Random related tangent: my wife and I took a vacation to Berlin once, and my wife, like me, spent several years studying French in high school. She decided to test her German language skills with the locals, and when she spoke, they immediately switched to French for her. Turns out, she speaks German with a heavy French accent. She was able to finish her conversation in French.

I'm currently studying Norwegian. My 3x great grandfather immigrated to America from Norway, and I still have living descendants of my ancestors over there. My dad and I went to visit them once, and I would like to be able to speak their native language the next time I go back. It used to be a rule that everyone in my family line learned English and Norwegian, but my grandfather died when my dad was only 2, so my dad never learned Norwegian, and thus neither did I.

I learned some extremely limited Korean. I was assigned to South Korea twice, for a year each time, and the military wouldn't let me live off-base amongst the locals, so I didn't get much free time to explore the country and learn the language. But I made an effort to learn some phrases so I could be polite in public, order food, and find my way back to the military base if I got lost.

Other languages that I've been exposed to and picked up a handful of words/phrases, but never seriously attempted to study: Italian, Arabic, Spanish, and Hawaiian.

Best to worst:

• English (Native)
• Spanish (Moderate)
• Japanese (Too low, needs severe work.)

Swedish, English and Spanish - in approximate order of proficiency.

Jestem rodowitym Polakiem i moim ojczystym językiem jest polski.

I use english so much everyday that I begin to forget how to write in my native langauge.

я училсья руский язык в школье. Я умею болше читать чем писять.

私の日本語は大丈夫じやないです。

Englisch and jeeburriche

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
