Brazilian portuguese (native)
Brazilian sign language (I have cerficate and worked as interpreter from 2007 to 2013)
English (fluent)
Japanese (Learning)
Spanish (Learning)

For spanish I grew in the border with argentina, then in 2014 I moved to the central part of the state and since the end of last month I'm living in the border with argentina again, so I can practice my spanish. I didn't start to study spanish again but I'll have a big motivation to do so now.

I know a decent amount of Croatian, since I did an archaeological excavation there. I’m also trying to learn Hindi!

I dig languages too and as I've become older I've realised that they're best when used even if on a lower level. At the university where I teach one of my colleagues at the languages department told me that there are two main ways or levels in terms of learning languages. Passively by listening (movies, podcasts e.g.) and reading and to "produce" the language by speaking and/or writing it. Passive will never make the same imprint on the brain as production. That's what I mean by languages being best when used. I'm Swedish and learnt English early at school and have lived and worked in English-speaking environments since the mid-90s so my English is of native level. I've lived in the Netherlands a long time and picked up that language by deciding at some point to just speak. It helped to have German from school which I activated the last ten years also by just speaking it, to sort of dust it off. And I'm doing the same with French which is probably my third strongest language since I've also worked in French. It helps not to care if one makes mistakes lol. My next language will be Italian I think. I've always wanted to know Italian.

I can speak English and Chinese fluently and a bit of Malay (I really need to properly learn it for obvious reasons), and my family wants me to learn Hokkien because it's their native language, I can only speak a few words of it. I normally speak Chinese with my parents if you're wondering.

Some of these words are very similar to the words in my languages.

Big fan of languages and linguistics here! Here are my languages in order from most to least fluent:

English - native language
Spanish - studied a lot in high school/university, not quite fluent but pretty advanced
American Sign Language (ASL) - studied for four semesters in university, not as good as my Spanish but definitely conversational
Vietnamese - studied online with a tutor for the past year, currently conversational but need people to talk slowly and repeat themselves a lot

My current goal is to really solidify my Spanish/ASL/Vietnamese to the point where I'm simultaneously confident with all three (I've been putting so much work into Vietnamese recently that I've noticed my Spanish and ASL deteriorating a bit, so I want to avoid that), then I'd like to expand to more languages. As of now, Hebrew and Japanese would be next on my list.

Do you speak another slavic language?

 

[SpeakCuba]

Do you speak another slavic language?

I do not think so, although I’m pretty sure some words (although few) are derived from Slavic roots.

What languages do you speak?

 

[SpeakCuba]

What languages do you speak?

Italian: Fluent, born and lived there most of my life

Romanian: Family is from Romania, therefore I’m quite fluent in this as well. (This is the one where a few words are of Slavic roots).

Spanish: A lot like Italian, I can understand it well, but have a hard time speaking it. Personally though, I find Spanish to be the worst sounding language.

English: I would consider myself pretty fluent in this as well.

I know a tiny bit of Russian and mandarin, and I’m currently learning French. I can speak French but only shorter, simpler sentences.
