I added this box because it makes it easy for people to find me when something needs translating.
- Dutch: native speaker
- English: good grade in grammar school
- I use English daily, but sometimes I may "get stuck" when speaking.
- German: good grade in grammar school
- I don't use German that often, so I have to look up technical terms.
- Latin: good grade in grammar school
- Unfortunately we only translated from Latin in class, so my active Latin skills are limited.
- Afrikaans: resembles Dutch very much
- Afrikaans resembles Dutch so much that I am usually able to comprehend it. Conversely a native Afrikaans speaker can comprehend me without difficulty.
I own dictionaries for all these languages except Afrikaans.
Cuddles from the German wiki!
