Ask Lemmy

Mexican American. I speak English, Spanish and some Japanese.

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'

India - Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, and English

Colombian here. I speak Spanish and English. I can read Portuguese, French, Catalan, Italian and little bits of Romanian and Esperanto. I have minimal understanding of Japanese, Dutch and Hindi.

Australian here.

English and basic German

Dutch but I live in England. Speak Dutch an English fluently and French and German reasonably well.

USA. English fluent, decent Spanish.

Depends what you mean.

By country of birth: I'm from PRC

As in "Where are you posting from?": USA

I speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and the the basic words of Spanish such as: ¡Hola!, Uno, Dos, Tres, Bruenos Dias, Muy Bien, ¿e tu?, Me habla pizza (Thanks, Spanish class. Still can't get the Spanish alphabet song out of my head lol 😅). And I can read like English (obviously), most basic Chinese characters, I think I know the top 100 of them, I'm more confident in identifying the characters if its in simplified. And techically, I can read the Kanji parts of Japanese (since they are basically Chinese). I hear some Japanese and Koreans words and can make out some of the words because they are so close to Cantonese. (I think Cantonese, Korean, and Japanese, decended from a common language). I could only write in English, after 10+ years of never using Chinese, I can't write shit beside like few basic words and my name in Chinese.

From Germany and know German and English. I can read Dutch and understand snippets but speaking it is beyond me.

Italy: Italian, English(mostly slang), some Spanish, some Esperanto, and some of my local language(Sardinian)

From USA. Fluent in English and Russian (self-taught and lived in St Petersburg and Moscow for a number of years).

日本人です、日本語しか話せないのであえてここも日本語で書きます

※普段は機械翻訳をつかってます

ちなみに、一般的な日本人の殆どは日本語以外を話すことはできません、日本の英語教育はあまり意味をなしていません

US. I speak ok Mandarin, poor Spanish and bad Portuguese. And I guess English. Also I can't read Chinese reliably, so I am also illiterate.

Denmark. I understand Swedish, Norwegian and German. I speak Danish, English and Dutch.

From the US. Fluent English, conversational+ japanese, and used to know basic German and french though I've mostly forgotten those. Also used to have survival level and very basic conversational Spanish. I've studied Albanian and Norwegian a bit, but don't remember enough to say anything anymore properly

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.
