The only language that I've learnt to the level of being able to have an unimpeded spoken conversation is English, although even in that case I have very few opportunities for that, so my speech is often halting. I studied German, French and Spanish in school (either elementary, secondary or at uni) but, again, very little practice (and, in the case of German and French, active dislike) has made it so that I wouldn't risk having a full-blown spoken conversation. I studied Italian mostly on my own, and it's probably the only one of those four that I feel somewhat confident in. Overall though, I'm not much of a talker, even in my native Polish. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
