1. How many languages do you speak?

English fluently.
French & German to GCSE standard once upon a time; I can still get by in both when I try (better at understanding than producing), and I'm trying to improve my German again by reading in German regularly.
A little Spanish, enough that it was useful when I was there last year. I can understand a fair bit, again, more than I can produce, due to knowing French and a smattering of Italian/Latin.
Some Russian, enough that it would be useful if I were likely to be able to go there anytime in the foreseeable future.
Currently learning some Thai for next year's south-east Asia trip.

2. What is your mother tongue?

English.

3. What is a language that you would like to learn and why?

All the languages!
BSL.
Mandarin (I've learnt a little bit a couple of times but never enough to stick. Actually that's true of BSL too.)
I tried learning Hungarian a few years back (before L & I visited Hungary) but yeah, they're not lying when they say it's difficult. I'd like to learn Finnish too, mostly because I'm interested in how it's different from Indo-European languages.

4. Does it bother you when people speak a language you don't know in front of you? Why or why not?

No. I guess it might if it were being done deliberately and specifically to exclude me personally, although even then it would depend a lot on context. Otherwise I don't see why it would bother me.

5. Speak to me.

There's a video on YouTube of me doing a reading for an online event. There's a couple of others on there too I think.
