I do, pretty much all of my life is in Danish. I speak English at the pub i go to. Most of the bartenders are from England but also from Romania and Hungary and spain. A lot of the guests are also from England and i have a few friends i speak English to because they dont know danish. I can easily go a couple of weeks without speaking a word English. Then i use it on the internet.

I keep it up by reading novels and comic books in English. I read Danish novels as well but books in English are a lot cheaper and i can buy them from English sellers which makes it even cheaper. I like saving money i read my first novel in English when i was 12 and taught myself most of the english i know by watching beverly hills 90210 as a child so no one ever say that tv show did no good.

I was born and live in New Zealand so therefore speak English. I learnt spnish at school but that is shocking now.
I want to learn Italian as that's my family heritage.

Working in a very multicultural job I'm picking up essential words for patient care like sleep, sit, pain, no etc in Hindi and mandarin.. Certainly an experience!

Joking aside. I am fluent in English and could hold a fairly competent (yet simple) conversation about German politics and ask where the toilets are in German. (A-level antics). I also know odds and ends of some Swahili and Lugandan but only very basic words from my time spent in Africa!



Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.

I was born in England, now live in Wales for Uni. I know very few words in Welsh (am trying). I can get by with German and French if I lived there, but am no where near fluent. I also know a few simple sentences and words in Hindi.




Have you ever looked fear in the face and said "I just don't care"?
