Language

I know that this is an English community, (and that you're supposed to be communicating in English as per the rules #wow #whoa) but I also know that quite a few members are bilingual, some are even multilingual. So whether you're fluent, learning, or just want to give your input on how you're part of the "x language master race," give a reply!

For those that are fluent or learning, mind giving some background on why you got into the language? What challenges you have/had with learning it, maybe? How long you've been speaking or learning is a given, if you don't please!

Personally, I'm getting much more fluent in my German. I'm still learning, but I've been speaking it for about five years now. Coming from English alone, I remember it being a challenge to get a grasp on the tenses, particularly genative and dative. I'm much better overall now, though; much more fluent, as well.

Does being able to communicate with a friend to a basic level with specific binary commands and machine code mnemonics count? Apart from that just English. I tried French but I just screwed up and found it too hard :P Lazy Englishmen can't learn languages.

I feel like I would have been more interested in learning German because of my heritage.

My mother language is Dutch. Although I am better in English then in Dutch, because Dutch grammar is a piece of shit.

I also learned German from a few swiss friends which I got to know when we returned to the came camping every year in summer. (8 years in a row) and of course in school, but I haven't been developing my German for a long time now, so I kinda unlearned it. (I can still understand it quite well, and I can speak it poorly, but I cannot type it.)
Check out my Youtube channel with all kinds of cool videos including LP's which I'm currently working at. Don't forget to give feedback as well. ;)

I can understand most Latin based languages but mostly Latin-American Spanish, but I can only speak a few words and I can't type it worth a shit.

I'm trying to learn Latin, mostly because it has a shit ton of languages built on top of it (English, Italian, Spanish etc.).
