It’s easier for them to reach higher education, because they’re so tall.

Native English speak (Australian) and I didn’t get full marks when I did my Canadian permit residency English test. That’s all I speak and apparently not well.

OnO
i found a german (federal republik of ~) text once that quoted a german text published in switzerland marking a word that was written with double-s instead of s-z-ligature (ß) with “[sic!]” as if the orthography of their neighbors were a mistake.

Native Portuguese and English, fluent Spanish, absolutely terrible German, and the one semester of French I took just made me determined to never speak it. “Quatre-vingt-douze” isn’t a number, it’s an algebra problem.

Jeg er meget nysgjerrig på hvordan du lærer deg norsk, og hvor du kommer fra 🤓
Et lite tips til en eldre, men god serie om det norske språk: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF0p_Qj0o3R-iEg6ad… mangler noen episoder, men jeg synes de er veldig gode!
zlatiah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
- Mandarin Chinese. Native, but actually not that good. Can’t speak Cantonese though
- English, basically native-level fluency
- Japanese. Somewhere between B2-C1 based on test results but that was a long time ago. I can probably get to C1 if/when I have the time to practice
- French. Still actively learning, around A1 across the board
I also have some passive knowledge of Dutch and German… But really passive though
DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
English, with heavy “American” accent. Basically native-level fluency
Okay laws are so stupid. If you have native-level English and have been so Americanized that you “have an American Accent”, you deserve the choice of getting Citizenship.
Wait I’m still still confused, don’t student visas only exist for college? Were you here during teenage years or earlier? Is there even a non-immigrant visa for before college? Like I’m confused af. I thought kids could only come if they are a dependent of a principle immigrant on a greencard visa?
zlatiah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, being in a country since 18 yrs old does something to you… Fun fact about the accent. Apparently most ppl I’ve met in the EU assumed I’m from the US, despite me not looking remotely like an average American
US visa system is a bit… Interesting. Student visas also work for PhD programs, which can last a while. And after the study concludes there’s an option for ppl to extend it by 3 years (OPT). So one could be into their mid-30s and still be technically on a student visa in the US
Griffus@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Norwegian, so Swedish and also Danish if it’s not too Danish and English. Enough German and Spanish to get by.

Native English
A tiny bit of French. My public school French education was a bit of a mess, lots of long-term substitutes and then substitutes for those substitutes, so none of it really stuck. If someone talks slowly I can usually catch the gist of what they’re saying, but probably wouldn’t be able to string the words together to respond.
And I’ve gotten myself to be somewhat passable at Esperanto using Duolingo.
I may make another run at learning French at some point.
Wouldn’t mind learning Polish, Italian, Gaelic, and/or Albanian, since that’s where my ancestors came from. Never been particularly great at language-learning though so that’s a huge stretch.
Also always thought it would be cool to learn Unami (the language spoken by the Lenape people who originally lived in the area I do)
And I’ve spent enough time in tiki bars that I occasionally think about learning Hawaiian or some other Polynesian language
Tuuktuuk@nord.pub 2 months ago
Finnish, German, English, Ukrainian, Estonian, Swedish, Latvian, Dutch, Lithuanian, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French. A little Italian and Portuguese as well. I did manage to explain some simple things in Czech some days ago, and I can read south-Slavic languages surprisingly well. And often decipher the main point of a text in Romanian.
Almost no Hungarian or Mandarin, though very simple questions are possible anyway. And then of course I can read Norwegian and Danish reasonably well, because if you know Swedish, English, German and Dutch, you already know Danish. And for a similar reason, Slovak goes.
I can speak less than five words of Albanian, Basque, Greek, Welsh, Breton, any Gaelic language or any Sámi language. Those are something should probably learn a bit, at least.

One of the languages I am not sufficiently fluent in, yet, is that of Australia and USA. What does “Diction needed” mean in this context?
