    Hello…
    Originally english, moja żona mówi po polsku, mes enfants apprends le français à l’école, en een beetje nederlands. 我学到的最有趣的语言是中文 . я выучил много песен на русском языке, pero para cantar la lengua más alegre es el espanõl, е o mais divertido de se ouvir é o português. Anyway music 🎶 is a universal language, το ίδιο και τα μαθηματικά. But I spent too many years juggling java, until most recently learning scala. Now a citizen of nowhere, wondering what’s next? I’d like to discuss future world pathways with people in Africa, or maybe India.

    English is my first language and I am fluent in Vietnamese (I am vietnamese/canadian).

    I am hoping to pick up Japanese and Korean next.

    To set the right example:

    I speak dutch (native); english (fluent); german, spanish, portuguese, french, esperanto (good); italian (adequate); russian (slightly below adequate); mandarin chinese (basic); arabic (very poorly)

    I’m learning mostly russian and chinese, for many years already, but not in any formal setting and with for many years already. I like reading books in the other languages to keep them up.

    I just found this sub and it’s really cool, I was thinking of making something similar but kinda forgot. Thanks for making the community!

    I’m a native English speaker, know a bit of Spanish, and am studying Mandarin Chinese

    You mean more than one language can fit in your brain?! 🫠

    English (native), Japanese & German (rookie?) I’ve been using Duolingo for about 4 years but am not that confident, and I have been thinking about trying Mandarin.

      You may have to buy the necessary brain upgrade from your brain dealer, but generally multiple languages fit yeah 😉 It may get a bit confusing if they’re very similar languages though, although I also find that that may help in retention of vocabulary.
