Hello everybody.
My name is Jay and I'm from the Netherlands. I grew up with the Moroccan-Arabic and Dutch language, and I'm fluent in both even though my Dutch is better. To be honest, I've always been interested in languages and since I've got family pretty much around the world, I thought why not join a language forum? I speak English quite well, I guess, although I'm far from fluent! I get German, French, Dutch and English at school, and at home I speak Arabic to my parents. I taught my self English to be honest, just by listening to music a lot and watching loads of movies/series. Normally, in the past, I would always need Dutch subtitles when watching an English movie, but nowadays if I ever feel like watching an English movie, I'll just watch one online without the Dutch subtitles and I can comprehend everything quite fine. I can speak basic French and can hold a conversation, but this is because my two uncles are both French and I've got like 4 French cousins who I get to speak to regularly. I'm not so sure on German, though... Last year we went to Köln and I could save myself asking people basic things but that's basically because my native languages resembles German a lot. But I'd say I speak French better than German, though. Anyhow, when registering I had to fill in what my native language is, and I'm not sure either to be honest, I was born in the Netherlands, my mom's Dutch and my dad's Arabic and on top of that, I speak it at home.., although my Dutch is like I've said already much better. What should I do? Oh, also, I've always been interested in learning Swedish and improving at my French, I've got no idea but Swedish somehow appeals to me a lot! Thank you for reading all of this, and nice to meet you all! Edited by Jay020 on 11 October 2011 at 4:48pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
