I can read German to some extent, can understand someone speaking it to a lesser extent (if they don't go too fast), but can only write or speak it at a very elementary level.
Some of that carries over to other Germanic languages like Dutch, Swedish, or Norwegian. I'd like to learn Dutch, since it's closer to the language of my ancestors (they spoke the Limburgish dialect). I can sometimes make sense of things written in French, but the spoken language leaves me baffled. Dittos for Spanish. That's it. I.e., not much more than a typically ignorant American. |
