What languages are you learning?
What are new languages I am learning?
I'm actually not learning a new language, but I am learning more about a specific language, which is Italian. I'm actually not as fluent in Italian as in French, Arabic, or English. That is why I'm trying to improve my speaking skills. The reason is because I need it in my work. I'm actually a translator. I actually do well at translating because I'm good at writing and reading. But if I come to do interpreting, no, I'm not that good. I'm actually, I'm not that good at speaking Italian. That is why I'm trying to improve my speaking skills. So yeah, this is it. Italian.
