Had he lived in Sweden, chances are that he would have studied Swedish as a second language rather than a native one, especially since he wasn't a baby when he left China. I suspect the situation in Italy may be similar with regards to Italian.

Salvadoran Pipil Nahuat(l).What about out of all the living languages you've ever studied, have dabbled in, know one or two words of, etc.?
Have you ever studied any extinct languages? Which one(s)?

No. I studied it two years ago, when there was a course of Crimean Tatar in my city, but then the course ended and I stopped learning the language after that.

Did you mean fourth smallest?
OldBoring wrote:Btw yes, I studied Italian since it's not a language I speak since I was born, but only learnt at the age of 6 going to primary school.
If I learnt a language through school, to me that's a language that I've studied.
