How many languages can you hold a five minute conversation in with a native speaker?
2
Which languages?
Finnish
English
How did you acquire these languages?
Finnish - native language
English - 10 years of English classes in school, but mostly games and internet. Learned first words at 5-6 years old playing pokemon. It really helps that movies and TV are always subbed, not dubbed (with the exception of kids ones) too.
I should be able to speak in Swedish, as that is also mandatory in Finnish schools, but I barely passed the courses. I'm not good with languages at all and if it wasn't for being a computer nolife, my English would probably be unreadable.
