Foreigners as in tourists or as in like immigrants and people coming to live there? Sorry I don't know much about Luxembourg but I'm open to learning more.

I am fluent in ASL
I know enough Spanish to have a conversation.
Do made up languages count? My brother and I once made up our own language, and I'm still fluent in it. Sometimes I'll still still have conversations with him in the language.
I know some French.

Well, I'm American so I speak English. I'm also learning German. I'm not at all fluent yet, but I'm learning at least. Everyone else I talk to thinks it's a weird language, but I love it.

Good for you! Compared to English and Spanish not easy, but practice, practice, practice - and you'lol quickly get the feeling for the German language.

Arabic sounds like music even when you're just talking in it. Which is your favorite language so far?

Since I’m from India I know at least 4 languages. I knew English and Marathi from birth. Once I started school I learnt Hindi at age 5. When I became 10 I learnt Kannada. I’m not that fluent in kannada but I can read and understand it. Hindi, english and Marathi are languges i can seamlessly switch between. Infact it is quite common for me to speak all 3 of them in the same sentence.

That's impressive. I wish I had been taught more languages at a younger age, it would have made things easier.

I speak English as a first language, and I can understand Spanish pretty well (there are lots of Spanish speaking kids at my school, so I started to pick up on it), but speaking it is a different story, I can only speak basic phrases. I’ve been taking French in school for a few years now, idk if that counts. I know a bit of Norwegian because my grandparents speak it fluently. I’m not fluent in Norwegian, but I can understand it pretty well and I’ve been learning it on Duolingo so I can impress my grandparents lol.

I was lucky to grow up in a multi-lingual family and a father, who is a philologist (PhD) - so I am fluent in German (Born there and raised until age 14/15)
Fluent in French (Mom’s French)
quite fluent in English (Dad’s half American and I also lived there)
don’t “speak” Latin, but studied it for 5 years and can translate anything - (some don’t even consider it a language)
get around with Spanish and Italian
understand Dutch perfectly but barely speak it myself, even though I worked for a Dutch company for my years

Well you probably are not a fool in polish since you made the effort to learn or understand it 😊
