Hi everyone :) ! I'm currently a languages student at university and I've been
interested in languages for about 7 years I think and when I discovered this forum I
thought it could be very helpful :D.

I'm a native french speaker, and I'm also fluent in algerian arabic because my parents
are algerian. I've tried to learn classical written arabic as well, but I just can't
lol .

I'm also fluent in english. Actually, I didn't "want" to learn it, I just enjoyed
english and my Scottish teacher was really passionate about her work and made me want
to know more about English, so at 13 I started to read books/ watch tv shows which were
not available in french, and I also listened to songs with lyrics on youtube, read the
comments and looked up unknown words, and without really noticing I acquired a lot of
vocabulary and improved my oral comprehension :).

I also took Spanish classes for 3 years at school, but had to stop for a year and I did
not study on my own so I've lost a lot of vocabulary and get kinda confused with the
conjugation, but I can still understand about 70% of a text or a video. I just started
learning again and I'm taking a Spanish class in my university, I hope I'll be able to
improve fast, because I just love Spanish so much, as well as the
music/literature/cinema :).

I also started Italian at the beginning of the school year. So far I like it, but I
tend to mix it with Spanish sometimes, especially when it comes to numbers :/.

I'd like to learn Brazilian portuguese as well because I love Brazilian music, but I
want to improve my Spanish and Italian first .

Sounds familiar, now I wish I could repeat this trick with my Spanish or German or Arabic.

Haha same for me, I noticed that when you wish to learn a language it's more harder and
"less natural" than when you do it without really working for it, like learning grammar
and stuff like that.
