I speak English as a native language. But I’m currently learning  German and  Irish as I have a lot of German family and Irish because it’s my country’s actual language. Unfortunately in my school we don’t really have a chance to learn Irish. So I do all of that outside of school. I do German in school, but a lot of that is also done outside of school because while my teacher is good, what we actually learn is not really useful. Má tá tú ag iarraidh Gaeilge a úsáid, I'm here  there was an Irish discussion but it's very inactive now. |

これはすこいです！ ありがとうございます。 でもさ、僕は漢字が本当好きじゃないです。 ( 殺さないでください  ) 心配しない。私は漢字がたくさん心得るじゃないです(о´∀`о)。このように話すのはいいことではないでしょうか？ｐｍを下さい それは素晴らしいことです！ But I have to go remembering some hiragana and katakana that I forgot now |

 Slovene – self-explanatory The Slovene language is, in my opinion, a difficult language. It has many intricacies, details, and duality that hardly any language has. People that speak a Slavic language should have fewer problems learning than people who are only speaking Romance, Germanic and Asian languages. There’s more confusion when you realize we have around 50 dialects and it’s sometimes hard to understand them all. Fortunately, those people know how to speak without dialect. That's right, it's too difficult for Romance people. But studying  Lingua Latina and  Ancient Greek since some years ago, the Slovene turned a little easier for me because the similar number of cases, numbers and genders used. But yes, the dialects, like the  Ancient Greek dialects (we only learn the Attic dialect atm). |

Let's give this an update, shall we?
FLUENT
Greek (Native) born here, grew up here, attended school here (sadly), live here, parents and grandparents Greek. English (C2) Studied for several years, passed ECPE succesfully 2 years ago, failed CPE for 0.8 points though, might just repeat it sometime. Sadly though I've never travelled abroad and only get a chance to practice it real-time when my Canadian-born family visits Greece.
 Spanish (C1) Studying on my own for about 10 months, I have several native friends online, always ready to practice if someone wants (to) help  . Passed the DELE B2 last November with 87,47/100 (including 20,83/25 in Comprensión de lectura, 20,00/25 in Expresión e interacción escritas, 23,33/25 in Comprensión auditiva and 23,31/25 in Expresión e interacción orales). Would do the C1 in May but COVID-19 had other plans for me. Definitely my favourite language and hoping to get a chance to travel to Spain or Latin America soon.
OTHERS
 French (B1) Studied for about 4 years, passed the DELF B1 with 81,50/100, would do the B2 but I just gave it up. I'm probably not a solid B1 anymore but who cares.
Ancient Greek ( ) Mandatory for students in Greece, never devoted time in it though. Don't plan to either  .
 Catalan ( ) Understand it well enough, like almost all Latin-derived languages, due to it being kinda like a mixture of Spanish and French, especially on written (oral... is another story), dabbled it some time ago but gave up due to the lack of resources and my lazy ass. Might just get back on it.
 Arabic ( ) Know the alphabet and a few words but never continued it cos wow that was hard.
 Albanian (I know enough Albanians to tell you qifsha robt. ).

 Portuguese (Native): Born, raised and still live in Portugal in a Portuguese family.
English (C1 maybe?): I've had it in school since 3rd grade up untill 11th grade, most of the vocabulary I learned it myself and then I learned the grammar in school.
 Spanish (A2/B1): Every Portuguese understands Spanish because it's very similar so my Listening/Reading is really good, however my Speaking/Writting is not that good because I tend to mix with Portuguese and make a lot of mistakes, I'm currently working to lessen this mistakes by being in contact with the Spanish language (Music, Series and Youtube).
French (A0): Had it in school from 7th grade to 9th grade but I ended up not learning anything helpful because it was very focused on grammar and french grammar is a nightmare! (reminds me of the portuguese one  ) However, I understand a little bit of both written and spoken French. Can't speak it nor writte it tho.
German (A0): Started learning it last year because of Dark (my favorite series of all time and it's german) but stopped because of school, I'll probably go back to it sometime soon.
 Swedish (A0): Started learning it this year just for fun using a different method that the one I usually use and it's actually working really well so I may start using it for every language from now on (in case anyone is wondering, I am talking about the method of memorising the most used words).
 Galician : Honestly, it's a mix of Portuguese and Spanish so I can understand everything, however I don't plan on learning the language, both Portuguese and Galician people can understand each other usually.
Other languages I'm interested in learning:
 Italian
 Russian

Is it that hard? Well, I suppose there are worst ones but compared with English it's very complex, especially the verb conjugations (There is a different verb form for each person and there are like 10 different verb tenses (at least). However, the  Brazilian Portuguese has a way easier grammar which is why a lot of people find it easier to learn. Not even us, Portuguese, are able to correctly conjugate the verbs in all tenses. |

Thai
Lao, the only major different is Isan uses Thai script and Lao uses Lao script.
/
English: Sometimes I use British sometimes American. (Also... I'm not confident to speak English in real life ;-; )
