⤷ what's up ~ this will be a shorter post compared to my usual blogs . i thought this challenge was really cute & wanted to participate ! let me know if you've done the challenge too , i'll gladly check ours out as well .

⤷ my first language is dutch — as i was born in belgium . i was taught by my parents & school , so this is definitely the language i'm most fluent in .

⤷ my second best language is english . i had english classes for six years , though it wasn't seen as a priority in high school . most of the things i know were self - taught by practicing daily since i was fourteen .

⤷ the third and last language i speak is french . it's one of the national languages in belgium so we're taught in school . i'm not fluent , but can save myself during simple conversations . it's surprisingly to see how bad i am when i was taught for eight years .

⤷ i took spanish for a year during high school , but it was an optional course which wasn't graded . i had fun but don't a single thing anymore .

⤷ i attempted to teach myself korean because i love how gentle and beautiful it sounds . bts did influence that decision as well , won't deny that . i took a break when starting college because i wanted to make sure to do well first before practicing time — consuming hobbies . hopefully i'll be able to pick it up again soon .

⤷ dutch is easy when you want to learn the basics , but some of the rules are unnecessarily complicated . a lot of belgians themselves make mistakes , even if it's the only language they know . i don't like it though , whenever i can avoid it i will . don't message me in dutch because i will be stubborn and reply in english .

⤷ english was fairly easy to learn for me . i always loved it & this certainly helped tons . i'm not one hundred percent fluent , but i've gotten comments from multiple friends saying they figured i was a native speaker . this definitely boosts my confidence , haha .

⤷ french was and will always be a pain to me . i'm kinda terrible when it comes to grammer , my strongest point is definitely the vocab . if you're thinking of teaching yourself , it'll be hard at times , but many people think it's a beautiful language — so for some it'll definitely be worth it .

⤷ spanish was surprisingly easy , since it has a lot of things in common with french and other languages . the reason why i forgot everything is because i didn't practice enough .

⤷ korean is a lot of fun to me , i love it . it's definitely completely different from every other language i've learned before , so it takes some getting used to . i didn't get really far though , just the basic grammar rules , orders within sentences & some vocab .

⤷ hope you enjoyed whatever this was , haha . here are your + 150 points for sticking until the end ! take care of yourselves , you already know that i love [you|ndc://-me] .
