People tend to just write random stuff in here in languages that they know how to speak besides English - it's kinda like "what are you thinking right now" I guess.

And that's pretty good Spanish! I always wondered how Portuguese natives felt about it/if it was very easy to pick up (I can read very basic Portuguese even though I've never had a lesson - a lot of it is very similar looking to Spanish)

Marizzle, ich kann Deutsch, ja. Nicht so gut, aber kann ich. Die Grammatik ist sehr schwierig für mich.

(Marizzle, I can speak German, yes. Not so good, but I can. The grammar is very difficult for me.)

@Ninaroja OH, I see, thank you for the info!
Thank you! For most Portuguese natives, Spanish is an easy language, since it's really similar to Portuguese. There are some "fake-words" that confuses us, sometimes, but, overall, it's quite easy to pick up on it. Of course, it also depends on how easily you learn/understand another language.

Aprendiste español en la escuela o fué por tu cuenta?

(Did you learn Spanish in school or was it on your own?)

Ohhh, cool! Ich habe Deutsch in der Schule für 2 Jahre gelernt, aber, bin ich die meisten davon zu vergessen, jetzt. Ich wünsche, dass ich jemand zu in deutsch sprechen hatte.

(Ohhh, cool! I learn German in school for 2 years, but, I have forgotten most of it, now. I wish that I had someone to speak German with.)

[Carl]

Du kannst Deutsch besser als ich!

(You can speak German better than me!)

((I probably messed that up))

[Marizzle]

Oh, danke! Ich denke dass ich nicht so gut bin, aber, versuche ich.

(Oh, thank you! I think that I'm not that good, but, I try.)

[Carl]

Du bist besser! Ich bin sehr schlect; ich habe für ein Jahr und ein halb Deutsch gelernt, aber, muss ich oft mich erinner.

(You are better! I am very bad; I have been learning German for a year and a half, but I must often remind myself.)

[Marizzle]

Nein, bist du sehr gut auch! Viele Menschen können nicht einmal sagen "Wie geht's?".

(No, you are very good, too! Many people can't even say "How are you?".)

Ich spreche Deutsch, da ich nahe Aachen whone, aber schreiben konnte ich leider nicht so gut.

En ik spreek Nederlads, vermits ik van België ben.

I speak German, I live very close to Aachen aswell, but I can't write it very well.

And I speak Dutch (well, Flemish actually), as I'm from Belgium.
