This thread is for all polyglot nonas, you can discuss preety much everything but here's some few questions you can answer:
1. Which languages do you speak, which ones are native, which ones you learned, which ones you're still learning, which ones are you being a heritage speaker, and what level are you in each including in native language(s)?
2. What was easy, hard, interesting, boring etc… about learning each language?
3. What languages are you planning to learn?
4. How did you start this process?
5. How was it in times you had to use the language you learned?
6. Have you learned any obscure languages? Or non national ones? Or ones with low amount of resources?
7. Are you interested in ancient, extinct, dead, endangered, isolate, unclassified etc… languages?
8. Which writing systems do you know regardless of if you actually know any language associated with it?
9. What do you think about self proclaimed YT polyglots?
10. What dialects do you speak?.

>languages I speak
Hebrew (native language, better speech than most native speakers due to having larger vocabulary because of not speaking like average arsit. I can sorta understand bible, mishna, talmud etc… in original hebrew. Aramaic is at most 5% comprehensible and that's for the jewish variants, for other aramaic dialects I can't understand anything), English (very fluent in terms of vocabulary, grammar and speaking and writing but with really shitty accent. My writing on paper looks as if a child wrote it), Russian (can understand well but barely can speak and even when I do speak or write it's with atrocious grammar and pronunciation and choice of words), Japanese (sometimes I understand it by complete coincidence like idk phrases like パンを食べる idk my Japanese is horrible)
>writing systems I can read
Hebrew abjad (0 problem reading), latin script (good enough), Cyrillic (kinda badly but I get the gist of it), Arabic (barely remember anything but I learned this language in middle school), kanji/han script (only most n5 and n4 level kanji), hiragana, katakana (I actually know hiragana and katakana both well despite my Japanese being a disaster)
>languages I wanna learn
Georgian, mongolian, Abkhazian etc…

I'll continue answering later (btw I'm OP)

I speak my native language Swahili, Italian and English! I wish I could learn German or Chinese, but I’m far too busy. I know Italian because I live in Italy, but it’s a pretty useless language , they only speak it here.

I did Latin in high school for five years as a subject , but you don’t learn how to talk, you just learn how to translate. It was fun translating verses and poetry. The dictionary was so damn heavy kek.

I speak English fluently as my native language, I'm less fluent in Spanish but it's also a native language, and I'm trying, constantly to learn French. In my youth I had tried to learn Russian to read Russian literature but that didn't go very far. I wish I had better discipline to learn more French but I get so busy with things it's hard to keep up.

Also I find the numbers in French to be really annoying tbh.

My native language is English. I have some Darija and French from my mother (not fluent in either but enough to get by). I was educated in Ireland so I know a bit of Irish, although I don't remember most of it, just basic phrases.
My focus is on improving my Darija and French. If I'm successful I'd like to learn Classical Arabic, and maybe some dialects like Egyptian Arabic, which I think is the most useful dialect of Arabic to know cause a lot of Egyptian movies are shown on TV in other MENA countries so people tend to be familiar with it. Or Judeo Arabic because I'm interested in the folklore of Jews in my country. I learned the Korean alphabet too, but don't know much of the language.
If I were going to learn a completely new language I'd choose Tamazight or Spanish, mostly just to further my understanding of Darija.

>Which languages do you speak…
French, arabic (heritage), english (C2+ level), some spanish. I'm gearing up to learn German, i learned some in middle school but didn't keep up with it. It's hard to pick a language and stick with it.
>What was easy, hard, interesting, boring etc… about learning each language?
English was so easy when it came to grammar and vocabulary. Insanely easy language. Reading arabic is hard if you're not using it often. I wish i could read it properly, i'm missing out on a lot. I never learned arabic to the point of reading complex texts and understanding them, because it was all about rote memorization. Bummer. I still understand some dialects and oral classical arabic just fine.
>What languages are you planning to learn?
German, italian.
>Have you learned any obscure languages? Or non national ones? Or ones with low amount of resources?
Toki pona. Not too obscure but interesting concept
>Are you interested in ancient, extinct, dead, endangered, isolate, unclassified etc… languages?
Yes. It's what i like the most
>What do you think about self proclaimed YT polyglots?
I don't care much about them. I love LanguageSimp
>What dialects do you speak?
Hassaniya
