I’m from the US and English is the only language I speak fluently.
From Croatia, I’m multilingual!
English
Croatian
Serbian
Bosnian
Serbo-croatian
Montenegrin
Probably missing some.
Slovenian? Or don’t I dare ask that?
Slovenian is different, it is similar and could understand something but don’t know it.
The second part is easy to answer:
- German
- Polish
- Swedish
- English
- Korean (just started learning.
The first part is a bit more complicated, depending on what you are actually asking, where and who you are.
- If you’re asking where I live then it’s Korea.
- If you’re asking where I came from to Korea then it’s Sweden where I lived for 15 years
- If you’re asking what nationality I feel I belong to with my heart then it’s Germany where all my ancestors are from
- If you’re asking where I was born then it’s Poland
I hope you his answers your question.
Not completely, there are 2 Korea’s. But since internet access in one is extremily limited, I can make an educated guess in which one you live right now.
Nice track record by the way.
Ah yeah :D so South Korea, just for the record ^^
From Germany and i speak German, English and Spanish. I can survive daily life in French and Catalan, but its pretty rough. Currently, i am learning Persian :)
From the Netherlands. I speak English and Dutch pretty much on the same level. I can work my way around German if I’ve been in a German speaking country for a couple of days. I can speak French if I really need to and I’m currently learning Portuguese. Understanding Portuguese has made me also understand Italian and Spanish a bit better.
Dutch too. Fluent in English, my French is quite good and I can manage German (though my grammar is horrible).
I did learn Latin so I understand Italian and Spanish if it’s written and not too complex.
Mexican here:
Spanish & English - Fluent
Japanese - Intermediate-advanced
French - Still learning but it’s so similar to Spanish it feels like cheating 😅
French was more confusing than Spanish was to me. I’m trying to learn Spanish actually. It’s a beautiful language.
UK, trying not to be a typical one-language Anglo by learning German. I’m thankful there seems to be a large German community on Lemmy!
I’m from The Netherlands and I speak Dutch, English, a bit of German and no French at all even though I had French in school for 13 years.
But The Netherlands has 2 official national languages, Dutch and Friesian, although English officially isn’t a foreign language anymore due to the quality and quantity of English speakers and there are discussions to make English the third national language.
I wish I knew more languages, but sadly I’m really bad at learning any. Some people learn languages so fast, I’m better at math and such. I wish I knew Russian, Chinese and Spanish because I’d love to travel to old USSR republics, China and other Asian countries and South America. Knowing the most spoken languages in the world would be amazing I imagine. And I wish I knew Norwegian because I love the language and the country so much. Plus, you can communicate in Denmark and Sweden too. But luckily now we have Google translate so I could communicate even though I don’t have shared languages with where I want to go.

Do you have a source for this? I’m Dutch native too, and have never heard of this.
The majority of Dutch people speak English at a decent level, but there are no non-immigrant native English speakers.
US. Fluent in English but I can speak enough spanish to do most everyday things. I am learning Japanese, and while I can read and understand about half of it, I can’t pronounce shit and haven’t bothered practicing since I just want to read it.
Norwegian.
I’d say fluent in Norwegian, English and German. German because I lived there for a year and the missus is German.
I can make myself understood in Spanish.
Swedish and Danish come for free as they are so close to Norwegian. I don’t need to speak them as we understand eachother mostly.United States and I speak English and a little Spanish but I wish I knew more Spanish.
Swedish: Native English: Fluent to the point where it might as well be native Spanish: Alright, probably upper B2
Önskar att vi hade ett lite mer aktiv community på lemmy, men ałła som kan svenska kan tydligen också engelska och behöver tydligen ingen svenskspråkig community eller så ^^
Jag gör mitt bästa för att hålla lite liv i !sweden@lemmy.world. Jag är inte jättebra på att posta annat än nyheter jag bryr mig om dock, vilket leder till lite enformighet.
Oj av någon anledning har jag inte joinat den än. Fortsätt så, jag själv bor nu i Korea därför är det ännu svårare att bara se något man kan post om just Sverige, men ville hålla mig uppdaterat.
Och oss som lära sig svenska kan också följa med och kanske öva med riktig svensk folk. Det låter kul
Jeg er i færd med at lære dansk (og norsk), men jeg kan forstå næsten alt I har skrevet.
Vi kan titta på serien “bron” tillsammans :D
Ireland. First language English, second Irish (but only in the education system), learning Russian
I’m from the UK and speak English and am fluent in British Sign Language. I can speak enough French and Spanish to navigate a short holiday, which means I suck at both.
Hi! I’m French, living in Germany, fluent in French, German, and English, conversational Japanese
Just saying you’ll probably have a better time asking this in a casual conversation community. To answer the question though I’m Egyptian and I speak Arabic, English, Japanese and a bit of Chinese.
