Fluent in English.

Español es mi primer idioma.

日本語は少しだけ話せます。漢字のお陰で、読むの事はまだ難しいと思ます。

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

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 3 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Spider89@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Best to worst:

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

Dutch, a funky dutch dialect, English and I understand German but I don't speak it. Should probably learn it.

German (native), English (not native-level but compared to my work colleagues I might as well be lol) and some American Sign Language (I can carry a simple conversation as long as I may fingerspell words I don't know yet/anymore)

[–] tiny@midwest.social 2 points 5 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.

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 5 months ago

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

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.

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.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] MonsieurArkadin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 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 5 months ago* (last edited 5 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。

[–] enshu@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago
