I speak that American English with a northeastern dialect natively

Secondly is Mandarin Chinese
Then French
Then Korean
Then German
then spanish

akudood;


I know enough Mandarin to chat with people. Though spoken is hard so it's usually limited to text.  French I forgot a lot of but I can generally read wtf is going on and if I think I can remember.

Korean and German probably enough to get around if I were abandoned in that nation.
Spanish I knew more but if i rely on what I remember from french I'm somewhat knowing.

ok hbu

I can understand French well enough to get by, mostly the written language. In a pinch, I might be able to speak it enough too but I doubt it.

i solely speak english...
but

i took spanish for about six years (took it in 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th.) but my last spanish class was like four years ago and I haven't refreshed ever since.  i remember some conjuges, verbs, and phrases still.  or at least i learned rather than remembered

let's see if can do the present tense of ir w/out using the internet

voy- i go
vas- you go
ve? he/she go
vamos?  we go
ustedes is...ven?  they go?

then there's past, and then umm "doing" verbs like not present but something else?  where you add iba or aba at the end of a verb, right?  (if anyone knows)

once in a while when i'd get a call from a spanish speaker out of nowhere, i'd try to talk in spanish and they'd respond in spanish.  but then i'd lose confidence in spanish and i'd say "joking i don't know spanish haha" casually and the other line is speechless

and then we'd hang up

he/she is va and ustedes/they is van i think

the iba/aba thing is for continuing actions in the past or something idk

whatever spanish and german i learned in high school i've completely forgotten now

when japanese is written entirely in hiragana i can understand most of what i read. it's the kanji that get me because i only know about 100. it's the only non-english language i can speak well enough to easily get by with.

bulgarian i can read and write a bit of but there are so many tenses and conjugations that it's a problem for me lol. i encounter russian more than bulgarian and i can read it just as well, but spoken russian is almost entirely incomprehensible to me while i can understand about 1/4 of spoken bulgarian

i only took high school french and while i can't write it, speak it, or understand spoken french, i can get the general idea of what written french is saying because it's so similar to english

this exactly. and that's really about all i can do for foreign languages.

being the weeb i am (and just because i think it's a nice language tbh), i'd like to learn japanese to some extent.
