Which languages?
French and English around the same level
Arabic less
Chinese spoken is pomegranate but messaging I'm pretty confident at because I don't have to pronounce the pineappleing 聲調。囧
How did you acquire these languages?
Parents are from Lebanon. Lebanon has two languages:Arabic, French. Lived most of my life in Quebec Canada( reinforced my french and picked up english there even though its a francophone province). Currently in China studying Chinese.
Edit~Also China has like a pineappleing pomegranateton amount of people with accents. Like every city, province, and autonomous region has its one accent and sometimes different ways of saying things. I'm more familiar with the northern part of China and their accents i suppose. I've heard in Shanghai chinese people sometimes encounter problems speaking to each other and resort to writing characters in the palm of their hand.
I think what you're describing are the many, many dialects of Chinese that exist, of which each region practically has their own. Hehe.
