Dutch is my mother language. Other than that I speak English and French (French not as good as I would like it though!) Also learning Spanish at the moment for my exchange project

Had a bit German - can understand it but speaking it myself is something else!

I learned Latin, Spanish and French in school. Unfortunately, only the Spanish gets used much here in my part of the US. Part of my family spoke Italian at home so I understand it (and can swear like a sailor in it ) but I can't really write it.

For me the hardest aspect is talking. I always get tongue tied

I got a 2 for French at standard grade but what 9 remember pretty much boils down to billet = ticket (dont even know why i remember that) and bonne nuit = good night.

Unsurprisingly I'm one of these ignorant prats that thinks why bother when everyone does (or should) speaka de English.

I never intend to go to France and see very few scenario's where I'll need to so it shouldn't be a problem.

I speak English and I can speak some Irish. Learnt German for 7 years but that was at school and had a crap teacher and all that.

I am doing a course in German next year to refresh my memory and also doing a beginner one in French.

And some day I wanna learn Swedish

fluent? No. As you can read I know a little bit of English. And I had French in school but forgot everything since I never used it again. Unfortunately.
