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 suppose I also know Newfinese if that counts.

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.

Native 'merican and immigrant Mexican

Native: Spanish Fluent: Portuguese, English I can understand almost everything and can sort of speak it very badly: Italian, Catalan I know very basic things and could probably have survival level communication (although I would have to think hard since I haven't used either in years): Russian, German Know how to say random phrases, generally "Excuse me, I don't speak , do you speak English?": Finnish, French, Dutch.

Currently I'm focusing on learning Catalan.

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)

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

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Java");
  }
}

I only speak english and bad english

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

Love 😘

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).

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

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

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. Specifically I am interested in learning Mandarin because I hate myself.

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.

A bit of English and some Japanese...

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

Norwegian, Swedish, German, English, some French and maybe enough Spanish to survive a week or two.

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

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).

Native: German

Well: English, French

A little: Spanish, Esperanto, Latin

Able to understand partially: Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian

A couple of phrases: Czech, Ukrainian, Polish, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese

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.

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.
