I was wondering how many SSpot users knew Somali, as this is a primarily English platform

Please also add all the languages you know and whether your English or Somali is better and to what extent

I used to struggle a lot but now my Somali is a whole lot better, I‘m just missing a good accent. But my English skills are probably double my Somali skills
 
The spelling in the post alone is putting me off :banderas: considering hiring a PR team

My somali is decent, Day to day conversations are fine for me .. but in more niche topics my vocabulary gets significantly weaker. I wanna work on this tbh …

I can write af soomaali just fine, i learned at my dugsi as a kid. I feel like writing in af soomaali is not as hard as learning the language itself as it’s pretty much like a transliteration.

I 100% agree about the niche topics thing, I hear Somali government news and start feeling like a toddler
