    • German (native)
    • English (pretty well I hope; half my working life and almost all my free time spent on the internet, shows, books,… has been happening in English since, like, 8th grade)
    • Japanese (learning; enough for talking about food, the weather, hobbies,… in somewhat acceptable grammar 😄)

    Swiss German is my native language, and I’m fluent in English. My English pronunciation is garbage though.

    Theoretically I can also speak German, but I’m extremely rusty in it and lack confidence, so practically I turn into a stumbling mess that can’t say anything without running away to either one of the above two mid-sentence subconsciously.

    Norwegian, Danish and English.

    You could add Swedish, but only because of being Norwegian, i can understand Swedish. I speak Danish because i live in Denmark.

    English, some Spanish.

    I’m pretty shy so I don’t really do small talk with anyone Spanish even though I live here. I can get by obviously but it’s nowhere near conversational.

        Exactly, it’s very nice when seeing Spanish comments online and it seems very impressive to people who don’t speak romance languages

          Yeah, it’s honestly a lot easier to read colloquial romance language writing than it is to listen to it. Here in Québec as an anglo québécois I always still struggle with my listening comprehension regardless of if its within my spoken or reading level, accents and speeds are always a pain. I know this is doubly bad for Spanish which can be spoken insanely fast.
