You can translate German? Wow. *is very impressed* I wish I could speak more languages
No, love. I speak English, period. I can speak enough Spanish to shop, order food, insult people's mothers, and ask where a hospital is. I can read Spanish well enough that I can get the gist of most websites, and I can read enough French and German that I can function on sites, if need by, though I end up having to look a bunch of stuff up by the end of things. If you ever heard me speak a word of any of those languages, I'm sure that you'd laugh yourself silly at my awful pronunciation. Plus the fact that in order for me to hold a conversation, I'd need a dictionary and a book of grammar rules, and it'd take me five minutes to form a simple sentance. So translate German, sure, no problem. Write in it? Ha. I can write in Spanish, sometimes - I have a few poems in it, though I suspect that the words are a bit dodgy. But that's it.
