A community for languages, linguistics and people interested in both!
To set the right example:
I speak dutch (native); english (fluent); german, spanish, portuguese, french, esperanto (good); italian (adequate); russian (slightly below adequate); mandarin chinese (basic); arabic (very poorly)
I'm learning mostly russian and chinese, for many years already, but not in any formal setting and with for many years already. I like reading books in the other languages to keep them up.
I just found this sub and it's really cool, I was thinking of making something similar but kinda forgot. Thanks for making the community!
I'm a native English speaker, know a bit of Spanish, and am studying Mandarin Chinese
You mean more than one language can fit in your brain?! 🫠
English (native), Japanese & German (rookie?) I've been using Duolingo for about 4 years but am not that confident, and I have been thinking about trying Mandarin.
You may have to buy the necessary brain upgrade from your brain dealer, but generally multiple languages fit yeah 😉 It may get a bit confusing if they're very similar languages though, although I also find that that may help in retention of vocabulary.
