Cobra!:
I haven't seen a topic for this on the forum, so I might as well make one.
Languages are one of my biggest interests, and I love being able to speak languages I'm not native in, and be fully immersed in it.
I am bilingual Scots and English (and have been working hard to promote the former), and am learning Italian and Scottish Gaelic.
I feel a huge satisfaction when I learn a new fact or get information in one of those languages without any assistance from a native tongue!
I also plan to learn Ainu, Japanese and Korean one day! Because I'm a bit of a weeb and koreeb. :p
What languages do you guys speak? Do you have any interest in learning more?

I have lived aboard for most of my life so I speak English, Dutch and Swedish. I'm planning on learning French in the future since it would help day to day living where I live now.

polish is my second language but im not a very fluent speaker :ziped: i can generally/vaguely understand what someone says based on context clues but my reading skill is like 1/10 and writing is 0/10 hahahaha

Oh, this is interesting!
I'm a huge language nerd. Currently, I speak four languages: English, Spanish, French, and Korean, listed in the order that I learned them in. While I've been speaking English and Spanish for many years, it was only in the past three that I've been speaking French and in the last two that I've been learning Korean. As far as fluency goes, I'd say...
English 100%
Spanish 90%
French 75%
Korean 20%
Those are my fluency rates! Pretty good, I'd say. :grin:
Korean is my main area of study right now, but I'm also adding Japanese into the mix because I feel like it'd be fun! I actually love to see the similarities between the different languages I speak, especially when it comes to comparing the Chinese roots of Japanese and Korean in both writing systems and vocabulary. There are a few things that I can understand in Mandarin Chinese due to these similarities, which is always a plus!!!
I've also studied a little bit of Thai out of curiosity, since I work at a Thai restaurant with many native speakers. There are only a few words/phrases that I can recognize. But I do find the language beautiful and fascinating!
