日本語を話せますか？

I think I know what you mean. To me, the language seems more poetic than other versions I've read. I still use others for comparison though too.

Yes, it's good to compare; I do so with other language sometimes. And I reckon that checking against what the Japanese says sometimes can be interesting and helpful also.

So how did you get into learning Japanese?
