Scots (I guess)

I'm also learning Gaelic and know a little bit of French from school, but it's more reading than speaking.

You’re honestly just trolling now.

English is my native language
I also speak Portuguese

I used to know conversational German but I lost competency because I haven't used it in a very long time.

I can do some basic counting in German, along with a few other words.

I'm certainly not fluid though.

I have a home in Spain so I need to speak some Spanish as many people particular in service industries do not speak English

I think a second language should be compulsory on schools, and that kids should be fluent when they leave

Is Gaelic not the same as Scots? I know I asked this before but I find it a bit confusing. Like when I say I speak Irish, I mean Gaelic (Irish Gaelic probably don't know if Scottish Gaelic is different or not)

That's not really a language though is it? It's just typing in an accent

yes i think he was being somewhat ironic



My English Uni pal (from Surrey) used to call our Scottish cleaner Ken Offay (in fact we all did)

as that was the only 2 words he could understand as she cleaned around him each day

Ken and in "you know" and Offay as in "awful"

"Ken that lad doon in number 2 well he wi offay drunk yistirday an he shat ah ooer ra bed" an am no cleanin that mess whit an offay stink ye ken"

I suppose it's almost a different language, love the Scottish accent though

German (because of me watching a lot of german tv shows lately, and i went online for some english to german, dutch to german words, sentences to understand it better)

English (duh, i had a 10 at school for that subject once )

Greek (i had a teacher from Greece who gave me greek language lessons in lunch breaks, because greek language isn't a subject at school, and it was handy since at that time that was before i went to Greece for first time )
