English and some Japanese.
I know very very very basic German and French.
I doubt most of the people claiming to be able to speak Japanese fully are actually able to do so at a decent level.

I meant Swedish, but that also answers my question. Where did you learn Swedish then? I'm curious to know.Otsutsuki wrote:

I'm fluent, it's my first language. I was just curious as it's a very uncommon combination of languages to know, especially for someone living in the US.Otsutsuki wrote:

I'm aware, but you also claimed fluency in English. Learning 3-4 languages growing up is an impressive feat. I don't see why you'd be offended by anything here, I'm complimenting you if anythingOtsutsuki wrote:

My mother tongue is Spanish. I speak English and French too. Also, I'm learning Latin and classic Greek at school xD
In the future I'd like to learn German and Japanese.

I studied latin at school for 2 years so now i have a good understanding of the language, however i dropped out as the language was becoming more complex and challenging for me
i know a few japanese phrases and words from anime
I also know a bit of french from learning it for 2 years in middle school.

I can speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish fluently.
Due to similarities between all Romance languages as they are derived from Latin and thus have some basic similarities, I can get a grasp of Italian and somewhat French, but only if it is written - I can't talk in them fluently, however.
I have great interest in learning Japanese, as I've only taken few words/expressions from Anime if at all, and I struggle to actually use them. Also, I'm far from learning the Kana, for example.

^Kana is easy to learn, basically the same as the English alphabet, you could learn it in a week if you tried, easy. Kanji is where it gets difficult
English, Afrikaans and Portuguese.
French, english (not fluently tho) & a bit of spanish & chinese (but really a bit)
Actually there are many possibilities ranging from diplomatic positions concerning international relations to the most language oriented stuff like translating or just as you said teaching.B1rd wrote:

coookiezi taught himself Japanese with just textbooks and internet,
it's like osu!, all you really need to do is be motivated and practise a lot.

Rosetta Stone is terrible. Especially for what it costs, it's not worth it. It's soo much better if you actually just buy a textbook and back it up with cheaper online resources (or even free ones, as they can be very good as well). Rosetta Stone on its own has many problems, and a lot of missed nuances that people should probably pick up on their way to learning to speak a language. Also, Rosetta Stone doesn't even bring you close to fluency. It's more of a kick starter.kirukashi wrote:
