1. What is your native language?
Spanish.

2. Do you speak any other languages? Which ones?
I do! English and a bit of Japanese and Korean.

3. How difficult is it for you to learn or understand new languages?
Fairly easy, although I am too used to Asian languages.

4. If you were going to study a new foreign language, which would you want to learn?
I’ve actually been contemplating learning Italian 🙂 and I’m also still curious about Swedish.

5. How are you at reading subtitles in foreign films?
I actually love subtitles. Since I like watching films in their original language, I use English subtitles. But even when I’m watching something in English or even Spanish, I turn on the subtitles since it’s more accessible for me.

Totally agree about having subtitles on even in your own language helping. They often put things in you'd miss like that the current background music is more important than I realise.
