I'm male, from the Netherlands (counts as Europe, I suspect ), turning 18 tomorrow (I'm 17 now, for those of you having trouble with the maths [img]tongue.gif[/img] ).
English is my second language, after Dutch. I also speak German good enough to make myself clear, I can read and translate French with a little effort, but I can't keep pace with a true frenchman talking French. As for speaking it, I've always believed that you can get a long way with nothing more than 'bonjour' and 'un compsa'... I'm also starting to pick up some Norwegian, and although I can't type many words without major spelling errors I can speak a few words and translate simple texts. Using that I usually get some way translating Danish and Swedish too. Finally I'm carefully circling Quenya, though I'm not studying very seriously at the moment.
That's the 'two or more languages' category, right?
