Vietnamese - native

English -5 years

Chinese - 2 years On and Off as there's no environment in America.

Planning to learn Cantonese after I'm fluent in Madarin

French - 6 months then gave up as I don't have time. Self-study French is tough

Singlish - fluent Haha I don't consider it as a language but just a dialect of Singapore.

English - native

Chinese - advanced

Gibberish - fluent

Shanghainese - basic

French - used to be fairly fluent, now only basic

German - understandable, but lots of grammar mistakes

Tagalog (Filipino) - my native language (

English - nearly native, as I've been using it since childhood

Mandarin - 还糟糕, pathetic, around 5 months of study

French - forgotten; around 3 months of study during childhood

Cebuano - good enough, but this is a cheat since most grammatical structures are analogous to Tagalog and they share a lot of vocabulary

And i'm taking up Japanese, not very seriously though.

I learnt some Mandarin in highschool (studied it for 3 years), but I have forgotten most of it since I stopped.

And if anyone wants some help with French or even practice it, I'll be glad to help :) (though I know there are other French people on this forum). I'm surprised by how many of you speak/used to speak a little French!
