我们每个人身上好像都有一些标签。
Wǒmen měigèrén shēnshàng hǎoxiàng dōuyǒu yìxiē biāoqiān.
It seems that every one of us carries certain labels.

对我来说，其中一个标签就是：我会说好几门语言。
Duì wǒ láishuō, qízhōng yí ge biāoqiān jiùshì: wǒ huìshuō hǎojǐ mén yǔyán.
For me, one of those labels is: I can speak several languages.

我的母语是潮汕话和普通话，我也会说粤语。
Wǒ de mǔyǔ shì cháoshànhuà hé pǔtōnghuà, wǒ yě huìshuō yuèyǔ.
My native languages are Teochew and Mandarin, and I can also speak Cantonese.

除此以外，我还学过几门外语：英语、日语、泰语和法语。
Chúcǐyǐwài, wǒ hái xuéguo jǐmén wàiyǔ: yīngyǔ, rìyǔ, tàiyǔ hé fǎyǔ.
Besides those, I have also studied several foreign languages: English, Japanese, Thai, and French.

英语是我现在最常用的外语；日语以前学得比较好，

English is the foreign language I use most often now; I used to be quite good at Japanese,

Wǒ kǎoguo rìyǔ nénglì kǎoshì N1, búguò xiànzài yǐjīng shēngshū le hěn duō;
I passed the JLPT N1, though now I have become much rustier;

泰语只有初级水平；而现在，因为我住在法国，法语成了我最需要学习的一门语言。
Tàiyǔ zhǐyǒu chūjí shuǐpíng; ér xiànzài, yīnwèi wǒ zhùzài fǎguó, fǎyǔ chéng le wǒ zuì xūyào xuéxí de yì mén yǔyán.
my Thai is only at a beginner level; and now, because I live in France, French has become the language I most need to learn.

回头看，我发现这几门语言不仅出现在我人生的不同阶段，
Huítóu kàn, wǒ fāxiàn zhè jǐmén yǔyán bùjǐn chūxiàn zài wǒ rénshēng de bùtóng jiēduàn,
Looking back, I realized that these languages have not only appeared at different stages of my life,

Later, I went to Japan to study abroad and met friends from different countries.
