Hebrew-My mother's tongue. Isreal born and bred. Don't like it though, not the place or the language, it has a very annoying sound to it. Still, i'm in a very good level for native, in writing and such.
English-my second language. my Irish grandparents drove me to excel in it, but my real motivation was that i really really wanted to read my favorite authors in their original language because hebrew translation is really not very good and i got tired of it. now i can read and write in a very high level, and also speak and understand in a good level. i've taken English-to-Hebrew translation class this year and Dragon Keeper will be my project once i finish reading it.
Arab-little more than the few phrases they forced me to learn in junior high. not interested to learn more of it
Spanish-able to understand basic conversations and movies, but unable to write, read or speak.
Japanese-very basic, can speak basic phrases and understand a little. the writing can't and won't understand until i study it properly. much too difficult
German-can count to 12 but i'd really like to learn it once i have the time.
