Wow. That's an impressive list of languages, Leon! Is it confusing for you to tell Catalan and Spanish apart? That's something that I am interested in because I might move to Spain (Barcelona) in the near future. 

No, I can easily tell Spanish and Catalan apart. I have known Spanish since 2003, and Catalan I started studying since around 2014. Catalan looks like a mix of Spanish and French, but sounds like neither. 

Hello everyone.

I am a 30 year old American who is learning a few languages now as well as maintaining a few. English is my native language. I know Spanish to about C2 level, and Portuguese, Catalan and Italian to around C1. Dutch, French and Norwegian to about B2. The rest are intermediate and low levels. I am mainly autodidactic and much prefer learning alone than with a teacher/tutour or in a class.

I plan to study medicine in Italy, so I am thinking about sitting either the C1 or C2 exam probably sometime next year.
