English: becoming my main language. Reading almost exclusively in English, speaking it everyday with my girlfriend.

Dutch: using it everyday at work, exclusively. All the emails, analysis documents and meetings are in Dutch and only in Dutch. Not only that but also being active part of it.

French: having a meeting and a business dinner speaking French. Getting my forgotten smartphone back in a hotel in Paris.

Spanish: having holidays in Andalucia and speaking only Spanish with the natives. Having a successful telephone call with a person with a very strong andalusian accent.

Romanian: listening to radio and understand the most (show that comments news with listeners).

German: watching Peppa Pig and understand what they say.
