So exciting to see someone else learning Welsh!!
Iām a Yorkshire lass, but my daughter and I moved to North Wales last year. Itās important to have a basic grasp of the language, if only to get through the automated dealing systems faster as everything is in Cymreag then English

I write in German and in English. German only to the postcrosser who can speak German. German is may nativ language. Since a few months I am learning Welsh. So I could write some basic Welsh like how I am doing and what I like or donāt like. But till know I havenāt wrote anything in Welsh on a card

I write in German and English, Iām fluent in both languages. Sometimes Iāll write a bit in French or Spanish, but Iām not good enough to say everything I want to say in these languages, so I usually opt for an introduction in French/Spanish and then continue in English.

I usually write English with some Filipino/Cebuano phrases and then Chinese when I write to Chinese speakers. Iām often asked to write in full Filipino/Cebuano but it feels very unnatural to me. Even if Iām fluent in both, I think of them as languages I speak, not languages I write

Always English unless the person speaks Dutch.

I write in either English or German. English is my native language, but after a very long time here in Germany, writing in German is second nature.
Just today I sent card to a profile which was all in Spanish, and Spanish was the
only language listed spoken, so I put my text through Google translator and
letās hope it makes sense!
At least, heāll have a good laugh, if not

I mostly write in English since I get people that know other languages but the only that we match is English and translating is an option but if the app that Iām using is not that good I donāt want to be embarrassed about something that I didnāt mean to write .
On second place will be German then Japanese ( like this I practice how to write more beautiful then before as well helps to write the Chinese address as well and the Japanese profiles I get , write "English - little " so I feel bad if I write in English )
Now even if my native languages are Russian and Bulgarian I have written in Russian multiple times but I think I only wrote 1 or 2 postcard in Bulgarian since I donāt get much addresses from there

I write in English, or French is specified in the profile.
When I write to Japanese people I put some words in Japanese as Iām learning it.
Once I wrote in German to someone who only reads German (I learnt German language in high school a long time ago).

Spanish for those that have it listed, otherwise just English. Once I received a message from an American postcrosser who corrected my grammar in their hurrah message ā¦ and I am in the US, too! I found that a bit peculiar; I donāt think of myself of an awful writer at all! But I am also not a Nobel Laureate

English is my native language, but I also write in French and I can write a little bit in Japanese. I know a bit of German, only because I have sent so many cards to Germany !. A couple of skills that I gained from postcrossing is that I am good at predicting how long a postcard will take to get to that country, and reading foreign addresses. ( As in that word means street, or that is in the rural part of the city)

Talking about sending postcardsā¦ I mostly write in English, then, fortunately, I have found some postcrossers from Catalonia with whom I can write using my mother tongue: catalan. Then I write in Spanish, Italian, French and Occitan (in this order by average).
