@Kay@mastodon.nz @till @keithreeder@newsie.social how many languages do you know?! I’m typically English in that I’m not that good at languages, I was quite good at German and not bad at French but if you don’t use them you forget a lot, I’m better at them written than spoken. So many other nationalities speaking English makes us lazy!

@weaniejeanie53@mas.to @Kay@mastodon.nz @keithreeder@newsie.social I'm a native german speaker and as a software developer I have to know English. I also had some lessons in Russian and Latin, but was never good enough to have a conversation or read a text without having a dictionary at hand (and looking up most of the words). I also know some basic holiday stuff (like yes, no, hello, ...) in French, Polish and Danish (you know, our neighbors ;) ). Well, and now I started with Japanese on Duolingo. A great way to learn new languages by the way.
