Alternatively, in the languages I speak:

Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie? (Deutsch/German)

¿Qué idiomas habla usted? (Español/Spanish)

Quelle langue parlez-vous? (Français/French)

    I’m a native Portuguese speaker, fluent in English and can understand Spanish and French. Despite having had 3 years of French in school, I can no longer speak properly, and my writing is really bad, but I can understand pretty well. Spanish just comes to me because of the similarities with Portuguese, I never formally learned it.

      Same as you, but little Japanese here…

      School languages are absolutely worthless unless you kept practising afterwards. You generally aren’t there wanting to learn and don’t have natural conversation partnerships to practice with.

        Yeah, exactly! I was quite amazed at how fast my French degraded after I stopped having classes.
