Mon français n'est pas mauvais, und mein Deutsch ist ziemlich schlecht.

Je ne sais pas si mon allemand avait un sens.

Also English lol.

Spanish as native, English as second language, German as third

and no, German and Spanish translations of your question are wrong:

Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?

¿Qué idiomas habla usted?

English and Turkish as native languages, I've also studied French as a prep-year for highschool so I can understand it but don't speak it fluently, same with Italian, somehow. Other than that I've been learning Mandarin for a year and I'll take the HSK 3 exam in a few months :D

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

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.

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 3 months ago

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

[–] drislands@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I speak English, I studied Latin but have not kept up, and I know a tiny bit of Japanese and French.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 3 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.
