I know English as my native language and I know a lot of Dutch. If I went to the Netherlands right now I could probably get along just fine with my basic knowledge of Dutch. I know a very limited amount of French as well but like I said a very limited amount.

I speak German, British English and American English fluently. I also picked up some French in school, and when I read a Dutch text, I understand 90% of it. But I can't speak or understand spoken Dutch, except for a few simple phrases. I've tried to learn Spanish and Japanese, but gave up on both.

Do you detect an accent in my posts?

The only language I'm fluent in is English, but I also speak a fair amount of Portuguese, some Japanese, and a little French.

I want to improve my Spanish and my French; as I know a little bit of both.

I also want to learn some Sign Language and some Portuguese.
