⚡️I was raised with English, Mohawk and Algonquin.
⚡️Fluently, I‘d say only English but I‘m okay with Spanish, French and ASL. I can understand Mohawk and Algonquin in most situations and I know tiny bits of Italian and Greek.
⚡️I have books in French and Spanish.

1. English

2. Fluently, just English.

Enough to understand (usually) & communicate basic things (probably hilariously for the listeners), Spanish.

Reading knowledge only, French.

3. I think I have a Spanish language reader somewhere, gathering dust.

#HelloThursday

wanderinglynn I sadly know very little about the Norwegian language. I really need to remedy that! Thanks for playing! 😀 7y
hilded Hehe, I'm guessing that goes for most. We are not that many people, so fully understandable @wanderinglynn 7y

1. Sarcasm. Midwestern English.
2. To spite my many many years of torture in Spanish I can barely speak it. It has become a joke with my mom.
3. I don‘t. I kind of wish I did though ... wait, do Spanish textbooks count? I have one or two of those someplace.

wanderinglynn I speak sarcasm fluently too! 😂 Thanks for playing! 7y

#hellothursday 1. Finnish and Swedish, bilingual by birth.
2. 13, not fluently, but I get by.
3. Probably 97% of my books. @wanderinglynn

Bostonmomx2 #3 - is that because there isn‘t a large amount of Finnish or Swedish authors? 7y
Tove_Reads @Bostonmomx2 Nope, there are a lot! I can get all of them from the libraries though. 7y
Lcsmcat Wow! I stand in awe of you. 7y
