Just two.

Once a month I decide to start learning a new language but figure out after an hour that I could be a drooling retard due to my attention span and it's no use since I won't even use the new language anywhere. Main reason why I know English as well as I do is the fact that I was shoved into an English speaking kindergarten when I was 3, that and being an assburger with no friends who has spent the last 15 years on 'murrican websites and playing vidya.

English, German, Russian and Serbian, without counting Croatian, Bosnian etc. as different languages, because they are not different.

I can speak broken Spanish and Greek, but not at conversational level, and I can read Korean (forgot the name of the script) and Devanagari, both of which I learned simply because they are awesome, I have no knowledge of what the words mean, which is kind of useless, but still.

I keep forgetting Italian because I never use it though.

Currently learning Czech.

I literally cannot speak any other languages, or at least I would mix them together constantly and fuck everything up. I don't understand how someone can switch to like, a different language mode, I could only learn words from other languages in the same way I learn the meaning of English words, they'd just be docked as synonyms.

Alright, if you mean that you weren't able to go work in Maribor, it would be
"Moral bi iti delati v Maribor, a(mpak) to ni bilo mogoče.
Naučil sem se slovensko, a delam dosti napak in nimam veliko besednega zaklada."

I can understand declensions being a problem for a non-native speaker, honestly. Still, that was quite alright.

Thanks for the corrections, forgot to decline genitive with the negation.

Well at least if they can get through all incorrect declensions !
(Heck, I thought 'za' would like akkusative, and I remembered wayyy too late that masculine only takes the declension on animate objects)

With 6 cases, 3 genres and 3 numbers, it's particularly hard. At least your tense system is way simplen than ours.

I can honestly say that Slovene language rules are still mostly a mystery to me, just like in English.

If you count Bosnian, Serbian and Montenegrin as seperate languages and not as the pluricentric language of Serbo-Croatian (WHICH THEY ARE)- then all of them aswell.

We had to study Latin in highschool for 2 years aswell and I (aswell as anyone else who ever studied Latin after the middle ages) don't know anything but some phrases.
