American English with a specialty in the dialect of American Regulatory Legalese.
Spanish, Arabic, and Irish I used to be able to read and write, but was always terrible at understanding any of them spoken.
I learned bits of German by proxy from having friends stationed at Heidelberg.

Since Lemmy apparently has a ton of people who are bilingual — how do I as a 31 year old man that knows enough Spanish to say ‘Thank you, where is the bathroom?’ and frequently watches anime in subtitles gain another language? I’m open to all suggestions, except bad ones.

Native Norwegian, fluent in English, can struggle through childrens’ comic books in German and sort of get by in Egyptian Arabic.

So i’m fluent in English and a specific proto-sign language that as far as i know only a few hundred people sign. I can order food and ask where the toilet is in about 30-50 languages, depending on the day. My Spanish and German are rusty: i have production issues but my receptive is competent. All my other romance languages (except basque and romanian, i haven’t looked at those at all) are decent enough to travel and make an ass of myself. My germanic and nordic languages are worse than my romance ones. Do not ask me anything in Afrikaans I will assume you are drunk.

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?

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!

- German (native)
- English (pretty well I hope; half my work life and almost all my free time spent on the internet, shows, books,… has been happening in English since, like, 8th grade)
- Japanese (learning; enough for talking about food, the weather, hobbies,… in somewhat acceptable grammar 😄)

- 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 6 hours 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 6 hours 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

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.
