i speak broken greek and understand italian.
i spent 7 years of my life learning italian in school and have nothing to show for it, and i grew up in a greek family and community and still have nothing to show for it.
my bad for not putting in the effort, when i graduate ill work on my linguistics. but for now—a jack of all trades is better than an expert in one
a girl thinks in english but frequently forgets the english word for things. a few years ago i recently learnt what a tablecloth was in english. absolutely blew my mind

Languages are my weak-spot. I find them very difficult to learn and don’t enjoy learning them but I realllyyyy wish I could. maybe now I’ve learnt how to play chess a language will be my next “thing I’m bad at” to do? i would like to learn sight language but that’s really hard to do without an in person teacher, so maybe I’ll learn Spanish

- so my mother tongue is gujurati , not the most fluent in it always but i would say i speak pretty well in it
- hindi and urdu : both i understand fully they are quite similar to each other and to gujurati but speaking them can be a bit embarrasing since i butcher it but again it gets me by what i do know
- arabic is what i'm currently in the process of learning. since a kid i've been able to read it cause i got taught to when learning the Quran and stuff but wasn't able to understand it until i started an islamic course which sidenote is so exciting cause i graduate next july hopefully
- and the last is korean so i'm learning it with a student i mentor on mondays and so its been a challenge learning but my watching of kdramas has helped a bit with pronounciation and stuff but yeah that's been a journey
i really however want to learn spanish for funsies so hopefully we'll get to that one day
