How many languages can you hold a five minute conversation in with a native speaker?
Well, only 2 if i have to be speaking the language myself, 4 if it only requires me to be able to understand and communicate with the native speaker.
Which languages?
-Danish
-English
-Swedish(I can speak very little swedish myself, but i understand swedish perfectly fine unless it's some obscure accent)
-Old Norwegian(Same as swedish, i speak very little myself, but i understand it just fine to have 5 minute conversations)
How did you acquire these languages?
Danish is my native tongue.
English was basically self-taught from video-games, i got the more grammatical aspects of it from education but overall i learned english from vidya.
Swedish and Norwegian is simply due to how similar they are to danish, i mean i have a lot of swedish family that i talk to with them speaking swedish and me speaking danish, and we communicate perfectly fine.
I've also recent considered trying to learn another language, i am very fascinated by languages and i would've continued learning french if it had been possible at where i was studying post 9th grade.
The languages i've considered trying to learn are Chinese, Russian or Japanese.
Chinese is simply due to how big i personally expect that language to become in the future.
Russian is because it sounds cool as pineapple.
And Japanese is because there is a lot of untranslated things i want to read.
