Know more than 1 language? Have you ever wanted to learn one? Which one and what sparked your interest? (Apart from English, duh)

I was learning french for around 4 years when I was younger cause we had the option for either that or german in school. A friend of mine and I started taking private classes as well for some reason, was kinda random tbh (I don't remember much, never actually spoke outside of classes) and now I'm kinda teaching myself japanese cause I'm a fucking weeb innit.

German - Relatively fluent, fully understand but harder time in speaking
French - Can understand what you say but speaking is really hard
Russian - У тя шо жопа шо рожа: все пригоже. Swearing and basic sentences only

Dutch would be something I'd consider to learn. I'd like to be able to hold a conversation since I plan on visiting the netherlands in the future.

Never really learnt any languages, did French for 4 years but forgot it all as after school I never had to speak it. I'm going to travel the world in a few years after I kickstart my career then maybe I'll learn some things, trying now to learn a coding language

Issue with native English speakers, especially in the UK is that everyone wants to practice their English with us. Because we're a island, unless you're in Wales, all signs and stuff is in English, and almost all tourists speak English. Whenever we go abroad and people find out we're English, they want to speak English to us, instead of us trying their language.

I always make a effort to speak the language of the country I'm in. Except for when in Belgium, because fuck Belgium (except for @Belg Lmfao )

My Germans moderate, I can understand quite a bit, and speak some far better than my French. I used to study it at school, but we used to play a game where we would see how often we could mention the war without actually mentioning it. So we'd ask the teacher stuff like "what does Wunderwaffen or nacht der untoten mean".

As a Englishmen, my country had spent many hundreds of years occupying, raping and pillaging your country. It would be rude of me to betray them by learning your language :booty:

Dutch, obviously. english, and an okay bit of german. I learned french for two years but my hatred towards that language is so large i refuse to even speak a single word of it. I've forgotten most of it too. A really tiny bit of spanish aswell
