    Finnish, German, English, Ukrainian, Estonian, Swedish, Latvian, Dutch, Lithuanian, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French. A little Italian and Portuguese as well. I did manage to explain some simple things in Czech some days ago, and I can read south-Slavic languages surprisingly well. And often decipher the main point of a text in Romanian.

    Almost no Hungarian or Mandarin, though very simple questions are possible anyway. And then of course I can read Norwegian and Danish reasonably well, because if you know Swedish, English, German and Dutch, you already know Danish. And for a similar reason, Slovak goes.

    I can speak less than five words of Albanian, Basque, Greek, Welsh, Breton, any Gaelic language or any Sámi language. Those are something should probably learn a bit, at least.

      Perhaps asking which languages you don’t speak woulf work better in your case, holly shit.

      We all have different standards of what “speaking a language” means, but good on you.

        One of the languages I am not sufficiently fluent in, yet, is that of Australia and USA. What does “Diction needed” mean in this context?

          Diction is speech (like dire in French), and it was a bit of wordplay on the common expression ‘citation needed’ like the other commenter said :) Basically joking that a claim to speak a language should be backed up by saying something in that language to be believed.

    English and swearing.

    Used to be fluent in French, but nobody to talk to to practice so I’ve lost a lot of it. Basic Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, German. Learning Gaeilge.

    Native English speak (Australian) and I didn’t get full marks when I did my Canadian permit residency English test. That’s all I speak and apparently not well.

      OnO

      i found a german (federal republik of germany) text once that quoted a german text published in switzerland marking a word that was written with double-s instead of s-z-ligature (ß) with “[sic!]” as if the orthography of their neighbours was a mistake.
