    Native : French
    C1 : Spanish, English, German, Italian
    B2 : Portuguese, Norwegian
    A1/2-ish : Russian, Greek, Turkish

    I love studying languages, Greek is the most appealing, both attractive to the eye and sophisticated.
    But I struggle with the acquisition of languages that are neither Romance nor Germanic.

    French (mother language)
    German, Swedish, Italian, English (not perfectly fluent but good enough to pass as a native)
    • Thanks to German, Swedish and Italian, basic proficiency in Dutch, Norwegian and Spanish.

    Same issue here. I tried to learn Russian but could never proceed beyond a few words and idioms. Eventually I gave up.

    I remember some members who speak more than 3 languages.


    Tooting Carmen knows English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and a bit German and Catalan.

    Baluarte(former member) knew Spanish, English, French, Italian and a bit German.

    Root(former member) knew Russian, Finnish, Chechen, English, Dutch and a bit Arabic, Ossetian and Avar.

    Seya knows Romanian, Spanish, Italian, French, English, Portuguese and Russian.

    Ottar knows English, Spanish, German and Hindi.

    Hithaeglir knows Greek, French and English.

    silentkiller knows Russian, Spanish and English.

    Melki knows French, Spanish, Italian, English, German, Portuguese and Norwegian.





    What about you?
    I haven't seen Seya's but Tooting Carmen and Melki both have a rather poor, google-translatish knowledge of portuguese.

    I sincerely believe that most of those who have posted here overestimate their knowledge of other languages.

    I have preferred not to say anything about Italian and Portuguese although especially Portuguese can be understood more or less well, I can´t speak it correctly and I have problems to understand it well when it´s spoken.

    In fact I just know Spanish.

    Se apellida Reyes, eso significa que sus antepasados pertenecían a varias casas reales europeas sin ninguna duda.

    Oi cara, ta tudo bem com vocę ?

    1- I speak Brazilian, a watered-down version of the noble language that once was spoken by Camőes
    2- When I don't pay enough attention, my Portuguese is punctuated with Spanish words, so in other words I speak a kind of Portuńol
    3- I hardly understand native Portuguese when they speak at a normal pace, you sound like drunk Poles trying to speak Spanish, too much "ch" "j" "z" for my taste. At least Brazilians sound more familiar.
