https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population says 31%. tysm for your answers!

there is, i checked. it’s probably there either to post advice for teens or because teens posting advice were downvoted to hell because of their age

this was a very interesting read, thanks!! is it like portuguese with “tenho saudades”?

about how many people would you say speak english in romania? 🤔

whoa falo os 3 idiomas tbm mas falo portugues possivelmente melhor do q os outros

that makes a lot of sense, what language was it?

hopefully we get better luck in 2028

that stinks that the teachers were aware of them 😓

unfortunately, i speak a very common language: spanish, but i also know portuguese from my dad, which i literally don’t know anyone else in my area who speaks it.

bueno, ¿cómo estás hoy?

i get it now :)

ohhh, makes sense. i meant for example, if a polish person who lived by the polish-german border ended up learning german to communicate with germans or not.

men jeg kan ikke si at jeg blander ikke sammen språkene. siden jeg er neurodivergent, er det tider som jeg kan ikke tenke på ordene på et språk.

hvis jeg er på ferie med min familie som snakker spansk og noen snakker engelsk på meg, jeg er kanskje ikke svare 😅

oh sure! i’ll say this part in english for everyone who wants to read.

my dad is from peru but of cuban descent (peruvian from dad, cuban-peruvian from his mom). naturally, both his parents spoke spanish and lived in a spanish-speaking country, so dad grew up speaking spanish.

however, he lived near the peru-brazil border, where he learned portuguese from portuguese speakers he saw. (my dad’s family mostly only speaks spanish though or spanish and english)

at around ten i think, he came to the us and started to learn english.

my mom is an american of polish descent, polish is her second language when her family started teaching it to her as a young girl. (but her dad either knows spanish and didn’t teach her or doesn’t know it as a latino.)

i use spanish mainly at home, with paternal family, and with my spanish-speaking friends. english with most people because it’s a widely spoken language online and in the us, and portuguese with my dad and brazilian online people.
