Nice try glowy
glowy?
Fed! I know you transmit radio into my head! Ever since you implanted these metal teeth into my mouth!
Born & raised in the US, lived in Poland for the past several years. Speak a good bit of polish, enough to navigate most interactions with strangers but not enough for deep conversations with the father-in-law.
Dutch but I live in England. Speak Dutch an English fluently and French and German reasonably well.
From Germany and know German and English. I can read Dutch and understand snippets but speaking it is beyond me.
Colombian here. I speak Spanish and English. I can read Portuguese, French, Catalan, Italian and little bits of Romanian and Esperanto. I have minimal understanding of Japanese, Dutch and Hindi.
I'm trying to balance learning Spanish and Esperanto. I'll confess I'm much better at Esperanto. I'm still not anywhere near fluent.
USA. English fluent, decent Spanish.
Australian here.
English and basic German
Denmark. I understand Swedish, Norwegian and German. I speak Danish, English and Dutch.
Brazil. Fluent in Portuguese and English, though I understand a tiny little bit of Dutch. I can understand Spanish sometimes because of similarities between it and Portuguese.
From USA. Fluent in English and Russian (self-taught and lived in St Petersburg and Moscow for a number of years).
US. I speak ok Mandarin, poor Spanish and bad Portuguese. And I guess English. Also I can't read Chinese reliably, so I am also illiterate.
From the US. Fluent English, conversational+ japanese, and used to know basic German and french though I've mostly forgotten those. Also used to have survival level and very basic conversational Spanish. I've studied Albanian and Norwegian a bit, but don't remember enough to say anything anymore properly
Italy: Italian, English(mostly slang), some Spanish, some Esperanto, and some of my local language(Sardinian)
日本人です、日本語しか話せないのであえてここも日本語で書きます
※普段は機械翻訳をつかってます
ちなみに、一般的な日本人の殆どは日本語以外を話すことはできません、日本の英語教育はあまり意味をなしていません
