    We should practice talking Japanese together :slight_smile:. I've always wanted a language-learning buddy, but none of my friends were ever interested.

    Aussie, are you by any chance interested in a career related to languages?

    I can speak English and Spanish fluently. I"m at an intermediate level in Korean (Although my speaking is more like a low intermediate) Afterwards, I want to tackle portuguese and Japanese. I learned some Japanese when I was younger but I forgot most of it.

    French... Somewhat necessary if you want higher level positions or at least decent jobs with more certainty here.

    Like a polyglot? I speak English and Tagalog fluently, and speak and understand conversational French. If I lived in France or Canada for a year, I'd feel confident enough to say i'm fluent.

    I'm currently learning Italian, and planning to take formal classes for Russian (such a complex language to teach yourself ._.)

    English (mother tongue), a lot of German, some French, a little Dutch, and I can read the phonetic parts of Japanese (but I don't necessarily know what they mean). ^.^

    English - Native level, Japanese - Intermediate level (reading/writing is at grade 2-3), French - I've forgotten pretty much everything but would love to reconnect and expand it, Russian/Korean - I can write/read it, but don't have any grammar or vocabulary, Cantonese - I think I've forgotten everything (I never actually studied it, I just picked it up from my first bf and his family).

    In the future, I want to learn/continue learning all of those plus Italian, A[C]SL, and possibly Cree. :slight_smile:

    my native language is french and i am now almost fluent in english. I've learned German for 13 years, but i'm still awful at it ^^'
    I am now leaning spanish, which is a bit easier than german to me because it is a latin language like french !

    I speak Danish and Norwegian natively, have a realtively good grasp on Swedish, although I don't spell it very well, and I speak English.
    I've been trying to learn German for ages, but I can't really understand much of it.

    Dutch native and I speak some German and Spanish. Oh, I'd like to believe I'm fluent in English. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I absolutely love languages and I learn quite a lot really.

    And I also love to teach others, so if you'd ever need some advice on Dutch, just send me a message. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I may have to take you up on that.

    My mum is moving to Holland permanently in 2/3 years and I'll be there for the Summers and school breaks until I finish university here (or even go there) and then move there permanently.

    I'm learning Spanish and can read/write it relatively well (although I'm certainly not fluent). I have trouble understanding it when people say it though.

    I'm trying to learn Japanese (don't know if anyone can help me do you?) as I love the language and country (I hope to move there when I'm older)
