minus-squareNorah - She/Theylinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year ago#shitamericanssay More than 60% of Europeans speak more than one language.
minus-squareexscape@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoTrue, and I agree 99% isn’t true, but I don’t think 40% is either. I speak two languages fluently and have somewhat of an understanding of a third, yet have still posted 100% in English so far… and that’s not my native language.
