How many languages do you speak?

Are you trying to learn any new languages? Which ones and how is it going?

Are there languages you would like to speak?


I personally speak two languages, German and English, both very fluent.
I am learning Spanish against my will (school) and am therefore not very good at it since I don’t put any effort into it.
I tried to learn polish at some point but stopped because the spelling was too weird and it cost me two much time to memorise it.
I’m currently trying to learn Klingon but I’m not really making any progress because I’m lazy.

I love potatoes. Potatoes are simply the best.
That is because:

1. You can make anything out of potatoes

2. Theyre also really delicious.

Potatoes are one of the big three most versatile basic foods there are; noodles, rice and POTATOES. Yes, they might only be some deformity that grows from plants underground, but they are amazing.
They taste good sweet and salty, hot and cold, baked, roasted, boiled, fried, with a variety of different spices, with a variety of side dishes and other vegetables and meat. There is very few meals that would not be improved through the adding of potatoes.

I was born in Germany and German was my first language, but I have long since forgotten it, and now can only speak English and Latin. I do with to relearn German, but its not high on my priority list.

English is obviously my native language, but I'm decently proficient in Spanish. But, even then, it really depends. I can understand Mexican speakers of Spanish quite well but can barely understand Chilean gobbledygook or lightning-speed Spaniard Spanish, for example.

Used to know some German, but it's really faded away over time.

1. Nordic (Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes can all understand eachother) (native)
2. English (fluent, allthough it sometimes doesnt have the best pronounciation)
3. German (semi-fluent)
4. Persian (semi-fluent)

I have considered to study some sanskrit, arabic, spanish and russian just for the fun of it

What do you mean Norwegians and Swedes can understand Danes? Doesn't Danish sound much different from Norwegian or Swedish?

Danish is a weird form of nordic (22 vowels, french R, ‘blød’ d, ‘stød’, etc), but it still understandable for other nordics, allthough mostly in a conversational level.
Nordic languages are still very close
