Well, I'm reasonably fluent in Japanese, though somewhat rusty since I was last in Japan 14 years ago (I can still ask for & follow directions, order stuff of menus, read road signs and that kind of thing as well as hold a reasonably in-depth conversation); I can understand enough German to read most Wikipedia articles in German & generally understand your typical Rammstein song or understand the German dialogue in Battlefield I without subtitles, even if I can't speak it super great; I can kinda fudge my way through Spanish (it helps that there's a significant Hispanic immigrant population living in the downtown area of my town & I like to go to the Mexican/Caribbean markets in said area to buy ingredients, due to Indian cooking & Mexican cooking using almost the exact same spices, not to mention that I also like malta, and you can only get the really good stuff in those types of stores:  Walmart & Giant only have the American-made Malta Goya stuff which just isn't as good as Malta India or Supermalt); and finally, I can read French well enough to, again, understand most written instructions/warnings and generally understand French Wikipedia articles.  I can also sorta follow Latin due to it being related to Spanish & French (and about 60% of English vocabulary being of Latin origin) as well as due to my extensive scientific background (particularly since I was originally planning on becoming a biologist/botanist before deciding on electronic engineering instead).

I can also read the Greek & Cyrillic alphabets, even if I can't understand what the actual words mean.... Less so for Greek than Cyrillic, since a lot of scientific terminology that isn't of Latin origin is based on Greek instead.

I can speak and at least understand some French(studied for 3 years, I'm fairly well educated in this language), Norwegian(Very close to my native language, I will understand mostly everything), English(fluent), Japanese(still learning) and Swedish(native language).

I speak and read/write Swedish all day long.

I speak and read/write English nearly every day.

I understand and speak (not so perect) German.

And yes pony and equine language best of all languages.

And I think I speak the musical language a little bit to.

Working on my Spanish. Just the other day I asked someone where a friend was in Spanish, understood the direction, and responded in thanks. It was only a few words but it was an exchange in something other than my native tongue.

For one, I can speak English very well, even though I am not a native speaker, I learned them in a very  young age and have no trouble speaking or writing them (even though Grammarly says that I always make mistakes using in/on/atI will never learn the difference between those 3.

Greek, my native language, easy too speak and write, also at school they teach us Ancient Greek  Am I going to ever use them? Nope. No use in them, no one speaks this language anymore. 

Lastly, French. I am not very good at the accent but I try my best at grammar and vocab, Vois-tu? Je suis très bon en parler français!  @Trotteur Sauvage would be very proud, it is "en parler français" not "à parler français!" Right?

I'm proud ! But it's more like "Je suis très bon en Français !"   the verb "parler" is not necessary here, in fact it made the sentence weird ^_^
But good one :)  try to keep practising, and don't forget that I'm here if you need any help !

Turkish, my native tongue

Me toooooo :D

Born in Turkey where I spent my childhood and earlier school years. I also speak French because I've been living here since middle school. And obviously, English from frequenting online communities, as well as research traineeships abroad.

I once took German too, as my "second" foreign language (of course it was the third foreign language for me) but it's been a long time.

I've picked up on some rudiments of Spanish from the internet, plus some Swedish words when I was doing a traineeship there.


I take writing commissions.

Aside from English, I know a bit of French. Don't remember much from it, but it was interesting.

At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.

Translation: I speak French not good, but I speak English very good, since I live in Scotland (an Anglicized nation), and I am learning Scottish Gaelic
