What languages do you speak/learning/want to learn?

Self explanatory prompt, I’ll start it off

  • I’m Chinese but I can barely speak Chinese at all
  • I learn Spanish at school
  • My Hong Kong background contributes to a British accent (although most of it has faded away as I get used to American English). I still use slang terms like bobby (British version of “cop”) and bumpkin (British way of saying “dumbass from the countryside”) every once in a while. No, I can’t speak Cantonese
  • I learn German as a hobby
  • I previously started with Swedish, Russian, and Finnish, but never got around to learning them, so I picked German instead since it’s spoken in a lot of European nations and also very related to Scandinavian languages.
  • The only French thing I can speak is singing La Marseillaise
  • I don’t do Asian languages at all because I think they’re relatively boring to learn, this goes to Mandarin, Korean, Japanese (Im an anti-weeb). Although they’re very useful, I’m still a Europe fanboy even though I’m Asian by heritage.

I cannot speak any language fully or fluently

im learning chinese but i dont learn anything

buddy, I cant even speak english properly

I’m studying japanese mainly rn lol

aside from thai (literal native language) and english, I know a very little chinese (with some simple recognition and stuff), so yeah

Same here but it’s japenese lol

Same here m8

took 2 years of spanish, have no idea how much of it i actually retained though

conlangs are pretty interesting to me, even though they serve no practical purpose whatsoever lol

French is my main language, I don’t really have any problem with written english but I never use it orally so I barely know how to pronounce anything.
I might want to learn Spanish since it’s a pretty common language online in US servers and stuff, but I’m really not willing to spend time for that. It’s more like what I would learn instantly if I had the choice to.

Oh also I’m still learning English at school I guess? I mean, it’s more like reviewing what we already learned each year but anyway

I have been in Chinese class for about 5 years i haven’t learned anything except the basics because I always forget stuff after

Learned Japanese for 3 years, still don’t know shit

Would learn Korean or Chinese/Japanese, but am more so planning on NOT learning languages.

Speak: English

Learning: Latin

Want To Learn: Probably another Germanic language or Spanish. Potentially Japanese, since I have considered taking a vacation there at some point in my life, out of curiosity.

Other: I can identify the meanings of foreign words in some languages sometimes simply because I read the roots of words and compare them to whatever sounds similar in either Latin or English.

speak: english, korean

want to learn: japanese (so i can finally watch anime without the subs :fr:)

I know English, can speak an intermediate amount of Spanish, and I know a tiny, tiny bit of Korean. I also know random words in random languages and I also know some ASL. In conclusion, I’m basically Mr. Worldwide

prob japanese

or russian

I know
English (duh)
Chinese (ive been going to weekend schools since i was 6 - sooo a long time im still going its still as miserable as ever)
Random words in Korean, Japanese, French, Latin and German (particularly German cuz of this boy in my class who used to love swearing in german)
A summary of this? brot

its the most widely spoken language in the world
