    Brazil. Fluent in Portuguese and English, though I understand a tiny little bit of Dutch. I can understand Spanish sometimes because of similarities between it and Portuguese.

    Mexican here:

    Spanish & English - Fluent

    Japanese - Intermediate-advanced

    French - Still learning but it’s so similar to Spanish it feels like cheating 😅

      Same here! But I’m Mexican from Mexico.

      Last year I’ve gotten to reading full-length Japanese news articles with little to no help with the Kanjis.

      It’s funny how many Latinos are naturally drawn to Japanese. I always blame the loads of anime we got throughout the 90s.

    From Mexico Magico, and I speak Spanish, English, enough French and enough Portuguese brasileiro to get by. And I am currently working on improving my Korean because I live in a city that has a huge community.

      I wish I knew how to write Korean nicely. Is definitely easier to speak for me than to write it lol.

    I’m part Scottish, part English. I speak:

    English - idiomatically
    French - conversationally
    Italian - I just want to reply to people in French all the time
    German - I can ask where the station is
    Japanaese - I can say ‘I do not understand’

      There’s a Hungarian hardcore band I like called Aws. It’s a really neat language. I don’t understand a word of it sadly. Maybe someday.

          They were on Eurovision representing Hungary. I listen to alot of non-English music. This is the song if you’re interested. I think their singer passed away unfortunately.

    The UK.

    I am fluent in English and good enough in Mandarin to get by.

    Earlier in life I was passable at French in France, but I have lost that now. It’s been overwritten by the Mandarin from having spent a few years in the PRC teaching English.

    Norwegian.

    I’d say fluent in Norwegian, English and German. German because I lived there for a year and the missus is German.
    I can make myself understood in Spanish.
    Swedish and Danish come for free as they are so close to Norwegian. I don’t need to speak them as we understand eachother mostly.
