Swedish, English both fluent and a bit of Dutch. Grew up in South Africa with a Swedish mother where my Swedish was improved. Moved to Sweden with Holland as a pit stop for a couple of years.

It's really interesting how different cultures affect your identity. Though being South African will always be my true identity, with a bit of Scandinavian and possibly Dutch in the mixture. But mostly South African.

Learning German might be easier which will help if I choose to move there (Job intrest) and I will at some point re-learn Dutch to a fluent degree.

That's quite the list! Seeing how South Africa has so many different official languages, I would have guess the list would be even longer still.

Hopefully the job in Germany comes to fruition!
