I speak English. Sometimes not very well.

I can read French pretty well but not so much when it comes to writing. I can also understand it to a degree but it takes a lot of thinking for me to speak it.

I tried teaching myself Inuktitut once (one of the northern Inuit languages). Why? I don't know. I can still remember some basic phrases though I certainly wouldn't be able to understand or hold a conversation. Maybe one day I'll reapproach it.

English is the only one, unfortunately. Learning other languages was never my forte. I did take a semester of Spanish and French each but didn't learn too much.

I know the American Sign Language alphabet though. And would love to learn more of the overall language.

eh, just spanish, and I'm not even fluent in it at all, I can understand a decent amount of what someone's saying in spanish but carrying out a conversation is out of the option, reading too

japanese is the only language I have some interest in learning, but I'm not sure if that'd ever happen

oh and of course mii english is impeccable

I can speak English and Japanese. My Japanese is nowhere near as good as my English, but it is getting there. I'd also like to (eventually) try my hand at Korean out of interest, and Chinese and/or Spanish out of utility.

At this point in time, I know:

  • Spanish - C2 level
  • Brazilian Portuguese - Somewhere in the B1 level
  • Japanese - Intermediate (slowly declining from lack of use)
  • Auslan - Beginner (Mostly Key-signing at the moment so vocab building is going strong, but resources to self-learn are difficult to find)

I have formally studied but can't really use or speak:
  • French - A1 level at best
  • Hebrew - Can read (as long as vowels are included) and write, but can't understand what I read
  • Mandarin - Only remember a few words here and there
  • Afrikaans - Same as Mandarin. Can only remember some very basic vocab.

I would like to learn:
  • Russian
  • German
  • Korean
  • Swedish
  • Danish
EDIT: Oh, and I guess I can speak English, but I figure that's pretty obvious.
 
I can fluently read, write, and speak in English and Polish. I can read and write some very basic Spanish but having to speak coherent sentences is a little tough for me especially since I haven't spoken Spanish in years. I definitely want to improve my Spanish and also learn at least one more language, namely French.

I also speak english, german and a bit of french.

I wanna learn russian for sure but right now my goal is to speak, write and read german fluently. I'm very good at speaking german at the moment but I want to become fluent in it

I'm Swedish, so I obviously know swedish.
And because I'm swedish, I can communicate with Norweigans, as our languages are very similar.
I also know english, which is what I'm writing in right now.
I took french in school, but I sucked at it and only remember a few words.

I've recently started learning German again, and I've got some of the basics down, but not much else.
