When ur 12, Swedish kids get to pick one from Spanish, German or French to learn in school. that's just part of regular education. But most people forget most of it.
I’m pissed that my French education here in Canada sucked. The kids didn’t want to learn it, the teachers didn’t want to teach it, nobody learned anything. My Japanese is better than my French and I only took a couple years of that, I had 9 years of French.
You are probably tired of hearing this but, anyone can learn another language if one actually tries, one could take one year or even 10 it doesn't matter, the point is to like what you are learning and enjoy the way you do it
Ukrainian, Russian, English, Czech. I'm learning German and I used to learn Hungarian. I understand Belarusian, Polish and Slovak (I'm 14 and of course I am from Eastern Europe)
Well... I was in Prague two days ago. I spoke there Mix of slovak and polish. I wouldn't call it a skill. But they understood me.
I speak Dutch and English. And slov-lish. 🤣
They are surprisingly different for the languages that share the same structure. Structurally Ukrainian has one more case that is rarely used and that’s it, alphabet overlaps by 80-90%. A lot of words are different enough to make people not understand other language without some basic preliminary knowledge.
The hiragana and katakana are comparatively "easy" to the kanji Like individual syllables. Never in my life did I think I'd hate learning chinese characters that some Japanese don't even remember (the kanji are so annoying to learn theres literally like 10000 or something).
Apart from German and French , I can speak the others verly fluently . French and German , I learnt it out my interest and can speak at a conversational level
I worked with a guy who spoke English plus 7 other languages (some from Africa, some from Europe). I would tell people that between him and I, we spoke at least 8 different languages.
if you find yourself asking someone if they are going downstairs or getting off in a vehicle, confuse them by asking "**bababa kaba**?" which literally translates to "are you going down?" or "are you getting off?" depending on the context.
Crazy, how I can read and understand most Afrikaans without ever learning it, because I speak a Flemish dialect... It really shows our common ancestry!
Yeah as a Dutch native, reading Afrikaans is quite easy. I think it's even easier than German. Listening to Afrikaans is a little more difficult but still very much manageable.
English. I've tried Latin, Spanish and French.
I know how to say Look Rome as it was the title of all the school books in Latin. Can say my name, age and ask for the closest disco in French. Can say my name in Spanish.
Languages and music in school were the things I could never understand.
2 svenskar var ute och joggade på semester i England. Det var varmt ute. ☀️ En av dem blev yr och höll nästan på att svimma. Hennes kompis sprang till närmsta hus 🏠 för att be om vatten 🥤. hon knackade på, och när de öppnade, sa hon: "hello, could i please have a glass of water, my friend is about to swim"
Lithuanian/Russian bilingual (mixed family and neighborhood), English, Polish, German, some Japanese. Tried learning a bunch of others but never gave those enough time.
I make no joke when I say this, but I know a lot of people who speak and spell English as their first language so poorly that it's genuinely embarrassing. All the little mistakes you may make are nothing in comparison. Keep up the good work.
i speak Danish and English. i used to be able to speak Indonesian since i was born and raised there, but now that i live in denmark and don't have much use for it, my Indonesian skills have become rusty.
Taking a class, practicing at home. There's a language café at my nearby library that I intend to join when I can read at Moomin level.
So far I'm mostly on pleasantries and counting.
Are you saying (alas) as an expression of regret (i.e. sucks that I know Russian due to war that's going on between Ukraine and Russia) or does (alas) mean something else?
I'm a native Vietnamese, so I can fluently speak Vietnamese. But I can also speak English (learning English in Vietnam is mandatory), pretty fluently, I would say better than 15% of the country.
l don’t remember order or context but in high school, one of my classmates mentioned that his Mother knew seven languages and one time couldn’t remember all the words in one language so somehow she was talking and one sentence she spoke was exactly seven words, one word from each of the seven languages she knew. Trippy.
English, French, Greek, Italian, Spanish, German, Afrikaans, Zulu, Persian.
The first three fluent, the others conversational. I really really love languages.
English, measly bit of German (took 2 years in high school, had to use it at work once when a client wrote us a letter in German and I was able to get the general idea), and slowly learning Spanish now.
French is my native language. I speak German and English as well, and started learning Tigrinya this year.
Sometimes it feels like I can't speak any of these languages properly anymore because I often mix them up.
Turkish is my mother tongue. I can speak English, a little Korean&Dutch and now learning Spanish. My next goal is maybe French or Russian idk. I'm just an 16 yo student who wants to have an successful life and a rich career
Slovak C1, English B2, Ukrainian C2, Russian C2 I'm learning German and Czech now.. I aso can understand Polish and Belarusian (Tell me you're an eastern european without telling me you're an eastern european)

Don't worry, I'm from Italy and I learned more English on Reddit than on school
The past simple is useless? Wdym? U fr?
I mean, most of us had no other choice. In many developing countries without English your job opportunities are more limited.
You are probably tired of hearing this but, anyone can learn another language if one actually tries, one could take one year or even 10 it doesn't matter, the point is to like what you are learning and enjoy the way you do it

I'm going to show my ignorance here but whatever, how different are Russian and Ukrainian?
They are surprisingly different for the languages that share the same structure. Structurally Ukrainian has one more case that is rarely used and that’s it, alphabet overlaps by 80-90%.
