Quand je parle Français, je fais beaucoup d'erreurs. Il n'est pas facile pour moi de penser en Anglais, traduire en Français et parle en même temps, donc je dois arrêter et penser ce que je dois dire à côté.
Ja govorim vrlo malo hrvatski. Ja znam kako da pitam, ako se ljudi mogu govoriti engleski! Volio bih naučiti više i više vremena provoditi u Hrvatskoj ...
Så min vän är att lära mig svenska. Men hon lär mig dumma meningar. Jag kan säga att jag hatar Spongebob Squarepants, och att jag älskar när sniglar snubblar. Jag är inte övertygad om det kommer att hjälpa mig i livet!

When I was growing up we learned Japanese at school and home because we lived in Tokyo. It was second nature to me to speak in Japanese as a child and yet, as I have grown up I have forgotten so much of it! I wish that I had thought to keep practising when I was back in the UK.
I studied French at A-level and then took another course in university, but I haven't used French in ages, except to send random texts to friends who have also studied French!
Croatian came as a bit of a random, I was on holiday there in the summer with no real company except a 7 year old Croatian boy who did not speak English so we naturally communicated in half and half and I learned a few words from him!
As for Swedish...my flatmate is a Swede and the other day I was speaking to her and she taught me a few Swedish words and since then I have been daily adding to my vocabulary. But it is a lot of random words which I haphazardly pile into a sentence which makes no sense!!
I really do love learning languages and wish I had a little bit more time to dedicate to doing this these days, but with work and different afterschool commitments I really don't have any time to just sit down and study a new language. Also, I think I would first of all want to practise my French and Japanese before working a little more on Swedish and Croatian. I would love to go and work in another country and immerse myself in the language, I think that would be amazing, but it just depends when vacancies arise and what I am able to get job wise! Maybe one day...
