Answer 1

I am doing pretty good with Spanish. However I've noticed at times my English is getting worse. I wish it was a matter of the Spanish phrases or words replacing the English ones. Actually, sometimes I can't think of a word in English that I haven't even learned yet in Spanish.

Many moons ago I was conversant in German. I made the mistake of not using it for most of the interceding moons and now I'm reduced to "Guten Tag" and "Ich vergesse".

Answer 2

I know english, can barely get by in spanish, and also know engrish pretty good

By phone or written communication, I've always been able to interpret engrish(very very poor english) pretty well at my past jobs.

Unfortunately, I've been around engrish so much due to this, I've actually start to pick up on poor english and accidently use it in daily conversation!

Answer 3

Besides english the only other language I know very well is arabic. Im not very good at spanish but im learning
