[miercuri]

English is the only language that I master at a near native level and I will probably never forget it. However, in spite of my efforts in the last couple of years, my French is improving slowly and unless I practice constantly I tend to forget even elementary things. I can read in French without having to consult the dictionary very often, but I can never seem to find my words when I try to speak it and I can hardly understand it when spoken by natives, unless they speak really slowly.

Apart from English and French, I studied German for five years as a child but as soon as I gave up on it (I changed schools) I forgot almost everything. I still remember a number of words and the grammar doesn't seem completely unfamiliar but overall my knowledge is pretty useless.

I am a quarter Greek and my grandaunts and grandfather tried to teach me when I was really young, but I didn't really pay attention and now I regret it. I hardly know the alphabet and probably no more than twenty words. No one in family speaks Greek anymore.

As a Romanian I can understand Spanish fairly well. I have never taken classes of Spanish but I would like to. It seems I would be able to pick it up easily. I also understand some Italian but I am not very fond of how it sounds and most likely I am not going to improve.

In college I just started studying Russian and I am very excited about it. I also have in mind to take some Catalan or Portuguese classes in the next few years and maybe try to pick up some Hungarian from my native speaker friends.
