How many languages do we cover?

Recommended Posts

English and Mandarin at a native level, Japanese at around N4 though not actually taken any JLPT tests (yet). Saw a video on YouTube a while back where there's a street interviewer who would give out cash prizes to passers-by who could count to 10 in three different languages, in which case I could have "yat, yi, san" (Cantonese), "eins, zwei, drei" and "un, deux, trois"d my way to $5 lol

If the mods don't object, I'd like to mention Kaminariyuki's book, "Seduced by the Horizon", about his travel experiences.  It's a fascinating and hilarious read, especially the language stories and the chapter on sumo.  All of the reviews on Amazon are 5 stars.

LOL, and it's all the way up to six reviews!  (two of whom I don't actually know and am not related to them)

Thanks, Joann. And, Naganoyama. If you don't like it, I owe you a beer.

English and Chinese, with some basic Japanese and French, though mostly receptive for both of those.

Ik heb een beetje Nederlands, and I can do a little in French, German, and even less in Spanish and Italian. Mostly uncultured English.

Native Spanish (castellano), not the most terrible English (pretty bad, tough), and some German bc my master degree was there. Sadly, thd latter is vanishing fast
