What languages do you speak? And how did you know that language? I'll start:
Solo hablo bien ingles pero puedo hablar un poco de español. Estudié espanol en mi escuela. Idk how to say it but I should add this was 3 years ago.
Technically also know some Yoruba but its at a really pitful level.
i grew up speaking english and vietnamese as first languages.
i also spoke french but i forgot it all :((((
i learned spanish and japanese later in life during school
Wow... named FrenchToast but cant speak French. Ig its true when they say never meet your heroes
i blame my parents. they didn’t have me practice enough.
i’m also ethnically german and they didn’t teach me that either 😭😭😭
FrenchToast who is ethnically German, speaks English, but has a Vietnamese flag... 🤔🤔🤔
Hey i'm really curious about hybrids people. I feels like they're living in liberation world and have chance to feel all the cultural. So can i have one of your contact please. Like, i have no intentions just curiosity about your world
from a mixed person, it often means youre not connected to either culture as much as you want to be and you often feel like you dont really belong in any of them (someone whos spent time in those different places too)
Russian - Because my father is Russian
Ukrainian - Because my mother is Ukrainian
English - picked it up extracurricularly
German - been living in Germany since 2022 (due to obvious reasons)
Do you speak Russian with your dad and Ukrainian with your mom or do you guys just speak 1 shared language at home?
we all speak Russian, we lived in Eastern Ukraine where Russian is predominant. Funnily enough my Father's family has a lot of Ukrainian heritage, and my Mom's has a lot of Russian heritage, so I am 50/50 no matter how you look
you could say Yo apprendi espanol 3 anos pasados (I don't have int keyboard on this laptop)
or name a specific grade level idk my spanish is ass
Yo hablo little espanol. Yo estudio espanol en el clase de espanol

你好我说中文
Mandarin - I’m chinese
Canto - I’m chinese.
Korean - I’m korean
Tagalog - At a very basic level but im counting it.
English - Canadian schools
French - Again very pitiful but counts ig.
Japanese - To watch subbed anime but still learning and pretty bad.
Do you ever feel like you start to forget some of the languages you are fluent in like Cantonese if you don't speak in it often?
Mando and Canto not rlly cuz I talk with my mom everyday in them. Korean i may sometimes accidentally slip in some tones from canto or mando and it sounds strange but not rlly grammatically if that makes sense.
wow I'm surprised someone outside of the Philippines wants to learn tagalog of all languages
Indonesian - my mother tongue language
English - learned in school and college
a little bit of javanese (listening) - i'm 1/2 javanese, learned by hearing family members convo

Mandarin - Chinese
Fujianese - Chinese

am currently learning Polynesian languages bc I find them interesting
Damn I'm jealous, I really want to get better at Spanish and maybe portuguese if I ever get fluent in Spanish. No idea where to really start though
I'd suggest just keep memorizing noun genders and verbal conjugations, imo those are the toughest parts to grasp for English speakers. once you're done with that, it gets a lot more recognizable.
en - first language
fr - school + canada lmao
de - tryna learn js for fun
ru - counterstrike youtube

Cantonese, English, Mandarin
Cantonese - I was born in Guangzhou in China, and I moved to a Western Country when I was 5. But I've always grown up speaking Cantonese to my parents specifically.
Mandarin - Sometimes, when I speak to my parents, both Chinese dialects can be used interchangeably and they will still understand. So, sometimes I speak Mandarin to them and sometimes I will speak Cantonese.
English - My formal education was in the white country I moved to. So my English would be better than my spoken Chinese dialects.
