Teach, Learn, Share
I speak roughly 8 languages, with varying levels of proficiency.
I can have conversations in French, Italian, German and English.
I can understand some Swedish and Spanish, speaking is a bit harder.
And I have started learning Russian and Japanese in preparation for a trip to southern Japan through Russia !
