The languages we speak
The four of us, Myrthe, Yasemin, Vassilli and I are all raised up in a country other than the one where we are residing. We all speak several languages. To give you an idea about which languages we speak fluently (one or some of us) here is the list:
Fluent:
English
Russian
Greek
Italian
Turkish
Dutch
Norwegian
Armenian
French
German
and Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and Abase, moderated.
If I am wrong, the co-authors themselves can correct it...

Who speaks Norwegian of the four of you? Have a nice day.
This blog is about people: their social life, their religion, their political opinion, in Turkey, Greece, Italy, Armenia, Dubai and elsewhere. We, the authors are polyglots. We used to live in several countries and speak several languages. And ended up not in our nation of birth. We are not propagandists, we believe in honest and open discussions. Therefore, we welcome critical opinions, advice and are curious about our readers, so leave a note, comment or advice.

Ladies, Gentlemen,

have nice day!
Actually, I speak German rather fluently (a lot better than I speak Armenian ;-) ) so that can be added as number 10 to the list.
I used to know Spanish quite well, but I haven't used it at all for more than ten years and I have forgotten almost everything.
There is an Armenian saying that goes like this: The more languages you know, the more of a human being you are.
Well I used to speak Russian, Bahasa and Arabic. My arabic is not to bad but can't read:(
Derya,
You can add them, as moderated?..))
You have the 'power'..))
Kindest
