@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.

@weaniejeanie53@mas.to @Kay@mastodon.nz @keithreeder@newsie.social Oh, and I totally feel you with the laziness. Knowing English does that to you, even if you aren't a native speaker.

@till @Kay@mastodon.nz @keithreeder@newsie.social Japanese isn’t easy I think! Good luck with it. I did start having lessons in Italian some years ago but sadly didn’t keep it up, I’ll have to check out Duolingo.
