I am still trying to figure out what exactly it means to be fluent, but I know that whatever it is I am nowhere close.

The best part about learning languages though are things like "une orange". It does make me wonder though.

English is my first language and I'm learning Spanish in college, so I know it at a decent level. I did French in lower school, too, but was nowhere near as good at it.

I know English, French, and German pretty well. I also know phrases in about 30 other languages, but they're just things you would mutter to yourself when you're walking down a street that would force a local to hit you with a double take, and some with a double rake if you catch my drift, hahaha. But seriously, I've gotten plenty of looks over the years from the locals. It makes for a great conversation around the dinner table that night. "So Hernandez, how was your day?" "Oh you know, the usual. A guy who passed me told me to check the bathrooms for the key to his problems. Nothing special."

Similar story.

I like the spelling of "trains" in Spanish "trenes". Feels like they tried to spell it phonetically.

I love the Spanish language! I find it so interesting to learn, particularly alongside the culture.

I only know English. It's pretty much the language if the world due to the British Empire and America being the last remaining superpower. No reason to learn anything else.

Yeah somethings like "trenes" makes sense or at least seems less arbitrary, similar to the table of elements.

But, then you have things like the colours....where I just have no idea where they came up with their names.

That’s incorrect. The fact that English is a worldwide spoken language doesn’t mean it isn’t useful to learn other languages.

Fluent in English and Portuguese (first language), semi-fluent in Dutch, and I speak some decent French and Spanish. Just sometimes I mix all romance/latin-based languages, so I'll occasionally say something stupid like "tu es" when speaking Spanish and etc.

Spanish is probably the 2nd most popular language in the world, so I do want to learn it for that reason, but I also want to learn something less popular so that I can communicate with a group of people that not many people can.

Kamusta.

"Hi" in Tagalog. That's about the 10th language I can greet people in now.
