    Only English, really. Enough French to slowly have some basic conversations, or read jlai.lu memes.

    I have, for various amounts of time, also had formal lessons in German, Spanish, Korean, and Vietnamese, with varying amounts of how well I know each of them. (But all very low.)

    very well: Romanian, English, Spanish, German. More understanding than speaking: French, Portuquese, Italian. And I know some words(very minimal) in Hungarian. I wish I would be more fluent in French, since we go there from time to time, I wish I knew Greek, Danish, Hungarian, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese(I love Chinese food and often watch cooking videos althougb I don’t understand what they are saying).

    Cantonese, Mandarin, and English (obviously).

    And Spanish, if you count knowing a few phrases as “knowing” a language…

    The words I know are: Hola? Como Estas? Muy Bien, E tu? Me llama Pizza. Uno Dos Tres Seis Cinco…

    Yea thats about all I know… 🤷‍♂️

    If I tried to speak Chinese (either Cantonese or Mandarin) in China and they didn’t know I grew up in the US, they would probably assume I have a learning disability (because that’s how much I suck at it)

    Funny thing is, I could just randomly strike up a conversation with foreigners in China with my perfect English and they’d be like “Omg a Chinese person speaks perfect English?” 😅, but then they’d probably quickly realize that I grewup abroad. (I really wanna try that trick one day, I love to surprise people like that)

    A few, but the only daily useful one besides English is Toki Pona (or Toki Ma, or Kokanu as it’s now called).

        It’s a mode of interaction like any. There are many people who use it in their day to day lives, like any other tongue. Due to the reduced size, it’s often said to have a “therapeutic” effect, which is what catches many peoples’ attention. I go by it maybe 20% of the time (on average) and I use it as my teaching go-to in my groups (of note, when Toki Pona is in the equation, people fight less due to its nature).

    English, Spanish, and Latin, with a few pleasantries in German, French, Italian, Japanese, Lakota, and Dutch.

    Well, okay: in Dutch it’s only cursing.
