English natively, enough Spanish to make friends, enough French to stay out of trouble, and enough Italian to get into trouble. I also have some transactional German (groceries, tickets, coffee, etc). I'm American.
It would take me a few months of daily practice to prepare and get comfortable with anything but Spanish. I haven't studied the other languages formally, only independently, for travel.
English and enough Spanish to get by if I was lost in Mexico.
Though many words in many languages have a similar root word, so even signage in languages I don't speak but at least use the same alphabet are usually understandable.
English and French fluently. English is my mother tongue. French I learned in an immersion program in primary school. I didn't study french at all in highschool or postsecondary, and always hated it during primary because my parents put me in immersion to "challenge" me. I started working for the Canadian federal government after uni, and they have pretty robust training programs for getting to full french fluency from any starting skill level. Plus, there's a bit of a glass ceiling for monolingual public servants in the federal government.
Recently started dating a Chinese girl and so I'm trying to teach myself a bit of Chinese. It's not as hard as I expected it to be, but it is very hard. In many ways it's the opposite experience of learning French relative to English. Learning French, the vocabulary is pretty easy and the grammar is very hard. Learning Chinese, the grammar is dead easy but the vocabulary is really hard.
English is my native language. I have a smattering of Malay from early childhood (my mother's first language), and have limited proficiency in ASL, German, Spanish, Italian, Irish, French, and Finnish (my proudest language moment was purchasing an apple from an old farmer in Helsinki who spoke no English). I also know a tiny amount of Japanese.
I'm contemplating whether to work on my existing proficiency or add a con-lang to the mix like Esperanto or Belter Creole.
Are all those Germans really different enough to count separately?
Like, I wouldn’t know how to distinguish my fluency in American English from British English. And that’s not even getting to Canadian, Australian, Irish… the differences are far more cultural than linguistic.
French (native), English (fluent), Spanish (a bit less than fluent). Started learning Japanese at one point and quit. Can still speak and understand some, but I've given up on learning kanjis. Understand a'd speak some Haitian creole (also less than fluent).
German, English and enough French to greet someone or order a baguette. I can also understand some Dutch (both written and verbal), but I don't really speak it.
Cantonese, English and Mandarin, ordered by confidence.
I sometimes feel special for being a Hongkonger who speaks Cantonese and writes Traditional Chinese, as they are not very common.
I feel that extremely when people think that I'm an American and accuse me of thinking "dollar" is the only currency unit in the world. (Sorry for the rant)
A very tiny bit of French, I can understand more than I can speak if they talk slowly, my French education was kind of shitty and it's been well over a decade since high school since I've really used it so
I've been learning Esperanto on Duolingo, it's been going pretty well, I'm just about at the point where I can confidently read a book without having too look up too many words. I'm far from fluent, but I getting there.
