What languages can you speak?

Native spanish speaker, learned english good enough to maintain conversations online and one or two irl people I know so I like to think my level is high, but you guys can be the judges of that lol.

I've tried to dip my feet into japanese, italian and french too, but I haven't applied myself much to those, I want to have the time to do so though
Sounding like a high level to me! Japanese is such a grind. I spent a year with it and realized it was going to be a slog. Spanish is much more enjoyable to practice, study, and use. Definitely feels more comfortable and familiar to my English speaking brain lol. Plus I can actually use Spanish here in the U.S.
 
Greek (Native).

German. First foreign language.
Spent some years in Germany as a kid in late 80s-early 90s, so I learned the language much easier but have lost contact after the 90s.
Level is around C1-C2 in reading and listening comprehension, but I need practice with talking. Got Zentrale Mittelstuffe back in the 90s after returning to Greece. I remember reading classic German poetry and literature, which were my best times with the language.

English. This was my second foreign language. I studied in the UK so I understand it to C2 level. Got Proficiency and ILTS too prior to going to UK but still it did not prepare me for the true native UK English. Thanks to the internet, video games and watching subbed films on Greek TV, learning English was much easier. I even got delved in English literature, which helped me in learning.

French. Initially I was going to go to France in late 90s for studies but dropped it. As a result I was self studying for almost 20 years but I decided to enlist in a language school 12 years ago. Got A2 in 2013, stopped and then began again in 2020. Barely got B2 for adults a few years ago, so I stopped there. I can not read French literature but at least I can read BD and newspapers.

Japanese. Studied for 3 years, stopped due to difficulty. Can read simple texts and manga with furigana. Irony is that by the time I learned Japanese, I lost interest for manga, anime and Japanese text heavy video games

Yeah I also stopped learning Japanese because the fan translations in the repo did what I needed lmao. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze anymore.

I'm a native Spanish speaker.

I only learned the basics of English on school, and the rest are years of reading on internet, playing games, reading fan-translated manga and talking here, plus occasionally searching what I don't understand or using a machine translator.
Also now I can mostly understand oral English if it's pronounced clearly.

Recently I learned to somewhat read cyrillic thanks to an old russian dictionary.
