Are you bilingual?

I can speak English, and a tiny bit of Greek and Italian (just very basic stuff and random words).

I can read Italian, and understand it better than if someone was speaking to me in Italian. If that makes any sense.

It's the other way around when it comes to Greek though.

Kinda... You english it's not my native language. So even if my english is a little lame, I can still communicate with you guys.

It makes perfect sense. I can read French much better than I can understand the spoken word because I'm seeing it at a speed at which my brain can process it. People don't speak slowly enough for my brain to process one sentence before they move on to the next and the next. By the time I've finished absorbing the first thing they've said, they have moved on to a totally different topic.

Yes, that's exactly how I am! When my Italian teacher is speaking to us in Italian, I try to digest the words he's saying, but when I finish understanding what he had said, he's already said another million things.

I speak German and English fluently, a little bit French and a very, very little bit Spanish and Netherlands. Furthermore I can read Cyrillic. 🤓😊

Wow, impressive!

I feel I would be fluent in Greek, if my dad constantly talked to me in Greek when I was younger (he did, but he didn't really). Sometimes he would teach me random words and phrases (the first word I learned in Greek was apple 😊).
And other times if he would want something, he would ask me in Greek (and I would understand what he said such as passing him a napkin).

@Loretta78: I love to learn them, too!
My Italian teacher is an awful teacher, so I've been dreading Italian for the past two years. He's not worth my time, and an arrogant prick. I don't have to deal with him after this school year (thank god).
