peppermintwolfman asked: Do you speak any other languages?

Yes, I do! :) Besides German I speak English, French, basic Swedish, and a bit Spanish and Russian.

I went to a language school for 2 years and got a degree as a Foreign Language Correspondent. My two main languages were English and French. During high school I also learned Latin for 5 years, which helped me a lot in terms of understanding languages better in general.

Some years ago I had many Russian speaking friends and picked up some stuff. Also learned how to read and write in kyrillic.

Swedish (and Sweden in general) is kind of a passion of mine. I’ve been to Sweden 5 times and just love everything about it! The language is just awesome in my opinion. I used to be way better at understanding and speaking it, but I wanna take courses at university again to refresh and improve my skills. This past semester I took a Spanish course, which was fun but I couldn’t really concentrate on it too much because of all the other courses I had to take and study for.

There are many more languages that I’m interested in learning at least on a basic level, e.g. Arabic or Japanese.

As you can see - I just LOVE languages! ;) I admire people who speak several fluently and I wish I had grown up bilingually ;)
