English, some Spanish.
I’m pretty shy so I don’t really do small talk with anyone Spanish even though I live here. I can get by obviously but it’s nowhere near conversational.

- Mandarin Chinese. Native, but actually not that good. Can’t speak Cantonese though
- English, basically native-level fluency
- Japanese. Somewhere between B2-C1 based on test results but that was a long time ago. I can probably get to C1 if/when I have the time to practice
- French. Still actively learning, around A1 across the board
I also have some passive knowledge of Dutch and German… But really passive though

Fluently? Hungarian, English, German, Romanian, and French, in that order.

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.

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?

i found a german (federal republik of ~) 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 neighbors were a mistake.

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.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 10 hours ago
English, and quite well.
I’ve tried Spanish, German, Japanese, Esperanto, and a smattering of others. I just don’t have the mental temperament for language learning, I’m a math guy. I’m already very proficient in arguably the most useful one, and I just can’t justify the time and effort that I could be using to learn other more broadly useful topics.
I promised my wife I’d learn her native language alongside our future children, but that’s a future me problem.

It’s funny you mention the math because i hear english is bizarrely efficient as a language (maybe from various distinct formation languages competiting in order to shape modern english)
I promised my wife I’d learn her native language alongside our future children, but that’s a future me problem.
Given how long it takes you might want to get started tomorrow! You can make it easier by finding a fun way to do it; e.g start with duolingo for basics then play a game/watch a movie you know well in that language.

Maybe, but I think it’s mostly just that it’s my native language and I was a voracious reader in my childhood so I got really good at it. I do appreciate the Germanic composite nature, but I didn’t, like, actively choose English.
Given how long it takes you might want to get started tomorrow!
Eh, like I said, that’s a future me problem. I think the “fun” way is going to be learning along with my kids. Start with the basics, consume simple media, immersion, all that. I’m not too worried about it, if I need to supplement with other methods I’ll supplement. But I think the time it takes the kids to become fluent will be long and gradual enough to work for me.

Native Portuguese and English, fluent Spanish, absolutely terrible German, and the one semester of French I took just made me determined to never speak it. “Quatre-vingt-douze” isn’t a number, it’s an algebra problem.
