:china: Wo3 bu4 hui4 shuo1 han4yu3

The numbers indicate intonation: 1 is even tone, 2 is rising, 3 is falling followed by rising (as in a long, drawn-out whaaaaat), and 4 is falling.

If you want my rather incomprehensible rendering of Pinyin, Waw boo hwei shuo hanyee

(Also think you made a typo with the Norwegian; that should be "snakker" as well.)
:usa: native
:spain: comes back in an emergency
:vaticancity: rusty
:china: can usually manage to order food
:norway: can hold a basic conversation

I think Cyrillic won't be useful here so I'll use the common rules of transliteration

:russia: Ya ne govoryu po russki

Bold ones are vowels on which you need  make accent with your voice. Also in russian vowels like Я (ya), Ю (yu), Ё (yo) are one letter, so they should be pronounced quickly, not like two sound, but like one.

That's the most mistake I always notice when someone tries to spell:
Я тебя люблю (Ya tebya lyublyu) which means simply: I love you.


And I checked the translation of :poland: Nie znam polskiego
It's more like ''i don't know" instead of "I don't speak"
Not really matter, but let's keep it one style.

I noticed because
:russia: Ya ne znayu russki (I don't know russian)
looked similar for me

Maybe to try learn Polish one day

:spain: Out of practice.
:finland: Failed to learn.

can you write it with cyrillic as well?
never mind, I got the cyrillic from someone else

any polish person here? to give me the "I don't speak polish"?

I read this many times and I don't get what you mean
can you write in original script too?

(yes, typo with the norwegian, thanks for spotting it)

There is a little typo in the danish, it should be "Jeg snakker ikke dansk" without the "i", just like in norwegian
Native: :denmark:
Fluent (more or less): :uk:
If I have to (but please don't make me): :germany:

someone told me with the i in it and I was super confused why there is the i, when swedish or norwegian has no i in there.....
(is it like "I don't speak IN danish"? that sounds weird in english)

Do you mean, the Chinese characters? I'll try, but that'll take a bit of hunting down and won't convey how to pronounce anything. O_o
:usa: native
:spain: comes back in an emergency
:vaticancity: rusty
:china: can usually manage to order food
:norway: can hold a basic conversation

Sorry, it was okay, it must be only me, but the numbers confused me

Welp, here it is:

I tried to add the pronunciation you said, I hope I wrote the right on?

(Another typo: :france: is français, not "françois".)

oh, maybe I can't read my own handwrite (I had the original list written into my small notebook)
