Speaking More Than One Language

[BILI]

English; Dutch; Arabic (Including all the different dialects, which are almost seperate languages); German; French; Spanish (far from fluent) and a lil' bit Japanese.

And I want to learn a couple more, lol.

how did you learn?

Dutch because I live in The Netherlands, Arabic from my parents (learned the dialects from friends and TV, lol), English from TV, especially from watching cartoons when I was a lil' kid. And ofcourse school (International Uni), German again from the TV and school, French.. school, Spanish school and my dad speaks it fluently, so I kinda learn from him a bit once in a while. Japanese from friends.

And I forgot one, Turkish. Not fluent, no, but good enough for the time being, lol. (also from friends)

wow thats dope man

When you say you don't speak it fluently what exactly do you mean by it?

fluently = like, perfectly. you can speak it as well as you can speak your number one language.

No, lol, I understand what fluently means, but I'm not sure if he's like "Oh, I know a few words in turkish. So, yeah, I speak it but not fluently" or he can really understand people and talk to them to a point.

Yeah, in Turkish for example I do understand the outline of a conversation (not every word). Replying is a bit dificult, 'cause I don't use it every day. But if I were in Turkey I could survive.

Spanish and French on the other hand are near being perfect. Japanese is just a couple of words, sentences and phrases.

I can speak English of course. My second language is Malay language or to make it simpler, it's like Indonesian language. I can also speak a little Mandarin though I ain't Chinese.

Spanish, English and Catalan (a regional language which sounds like a mixture of Spanish and French)

Fluently I would put both Spanish and English at the top and then after goes Catalan.
