Re: What languages do you speak? read? write?
I'm a native English speaker. I've lived in Argentina for 8 months now and have studied Spanish for somewhere around 200-250 hours with a private teacher in that time. Also 4 years in school.
I can read Spanish at a very good level, only caught up by new words I haven't encountered yet (maybe 3-5 per newspaper article or similar). I read my daily news in Spanish as often as possible.
I can write Spanish at a good level but not nearly as good as I can read. I can speak at a good level that is far from fluent but allows me to take care of my daily business in Spanish and hold decent conversations in Spanish as long as they don't stray into too complex of topics.
I can read and understand Danish at a beginner level. I can speak like a child who has a small vocabulary. Lived in Sweden for 6 months or so with a Danish girlfriend and some Danish friends.
