Indonesian living in Jakarta here.
Natively using Indonesian (some Javanese also, we have > 300 traditional languages here)
English is my secondary (more often used than Javanese now)

yes, Urban Dictionary is good. when reading definitions you have to remember that it comes from an era of the internet where putting a bald-faced lie authoritatively on the internet was difficult and funny, but since it gives multiple definitions per word, you can usually get a sense.
I grew up in Minnesota and live in NYC. English is my first language. I learned some German in high school but haven’t really pushed past being “school-good” at it, which seems like a comparatively pretty low bar in the US. Currently I’m visiting Japan for the first time; I’ve been learning / wanting to learn Japanese since I was maybe 11. I guess currently I’m good enough to impress other white people, but nowhere near as fluent as I’d like to be

Fascinating thread
Australia here - Bought up right on the beach and big cities. Currently living way inland in a tiny rural village in the tropics, miles and miles from the nearest shops and people.
It’s strangely quiet, with no car noises, but the wildlife and nature noises are constant.
We speak English, and fluent in sheepdog as well. I know 100 different types of growl and barking noises now. Guess I’m turning into a furry, because some days that’s the only words spoken.

Living in a suburban area in the West of Germany, that sounds somehow desirable…

Haha, yes, really nice. Funny side fact: I grew up on a goat farm in Northern Germany before we moved to the city when I was 8; no joke. Thus, I can confirm most points. And while I like working in the IT, such an option is always tempting

Comparing languages and difficulty may never be an exact science.
One thing we did during our courses was ask children about the grammaticality of sentences as a measure of completed language acquisition. This seems to give a relatively accurately measurable value, and at least one that can be repeated for a specific language (by using the same test sentences).
IIRC the average point of full acquisition was somewhere just before 4 years of age, with only a 3 month different between averages for different languages (with Turkish taking the longest time).
But this was general linguistics status from the late 1980s that I recall, so things might have been updated.
My native language is Russian. I live in the Moscow region. I speak, read and write in English.
In addition, I translate information about Zig into Russian for zig-lang.ru

Sound like me!
I live at 1100 meters high in the mountains. Clean water, clean air, lots of forest, waterfalls, birds…
In short: paradise!
