    I can speak a very small amount of Irish (Labhraíonn an fia Gaeilge), Swedish (Du äter min hunds mat), and Welsh (Dych chi'n hoffi'r teigr yn yr swyddfa?), which I learned using Duolingo - hence the weird phrases!

    Obviously I'm a native English speaker and I also learnt Italian for about 13 years, including studying abroad in Italy for a year, so I can speak it to a conversational level.

    I can also speak a bit of Japanese, which is helpful for the whole living-in-Japan thing!

    I’ve been taking Japanese for five months. Despite how hard it is, I am determined to become fluent. Currently I can read every hiragana symbol, know two dozen phrases, and about 30 words. It’s not much, but it’s a start.

    I also know a tiny amount of Spanish from watching so much Dora the Explorer as a child.

    As previously mentioned, ik leer Nederlands, and I am FINALLY able to pronounce a Dutch G, which has been the bane of my existance for the past 7 months. Meaning I can finally say "gezellig" like a real Dutchie would.

    I'm currently trying to learn french, though I'm not making great progress with that.
    Why can't I pronounce french words correctly?!!?

    French is actually my mother tongue but I live in english pretty much entirely now. I can understand spanish decently but cannot speak it well enough for my liking.

    Well I can Danish (native) and English, I had German in school for 4 years and well I really don't remember much of it and I probably can't have a conversation in German. English I started with in school and continued learning from by playing video games and I'm better at English than Danish which is not always so great when you're a Dane.
