I have a 600 day streak on Duolingo in Japanese. So yeah I know English and JavaScript.

• Spanish (native)
• Portuguese (fluent)
• English (fluent)
• Italian (understand 99% but speak very badly)
• Russian (very basic and haven’t trained in years, but enough that I was able to tourist around Russia a decade ago)

I’ve also studied some German but I don’t think it’s at any level worth mentioning. I can also say the phrase “Sorry I don’t speak X, do you speak English?” In:

• German
• Dutch
• French
• Finnish (I can also say the weather is bad/good and obviously Perkele hahah)

Essentially every country that I’ve visited I can at least ask the person if they speak English, I consider it rude to ask that question in English.

It’s complicated. Short version: Portuguese and Italian.

Long version:

• Portuguese - native
• Italian - have been learning it since a kid. It’s by no means native speaker level, but I feel rather confident in the language.
• Venetian - I can speak some but I can’t write stuff in the language without pulling out a dic. My knowledge of the language is rusting and it pains me.
• English - written only.
• German - I can speak and write some. I use it mostly with my cat.
• Latin - Classical pronunciation and rather decent vocab. Can read Caesar unaided without too much trouble, Cicero is another can of worms.
• French - studied it a long, looooong time ago. Completely forgotten.
• Russian, Ukrainian - sometimes I play a bit with both but I don’t speak or write either, I just know Cyrillic. I tend to use Cyrillic a fair bit for my personal notes but it’s always with Italian or Latin, it’s just so people don’t snoop on my notes.
• Spanish - I never studied the language, my pronunciation is awful, but if I wasn’t able to read it I’d seriously question my own basic literacy for Portuguese and Italian.

English, Goa’uld and Tamarian

FastIron, NOS, PowerCLI, BASH, PowerSHell, esxcli, ComWare, Enterasys/Extreme, enough of MSSQL, Python, C++ to be dangerous

English (fluent), Esperanto (competent), Spanish (rusty)

Dutch natively

English fluently

German understandably

Toddler level Korean.

• Chinese (Mandarin) - native
• English - fluent
• Japanese - still in the very early stages of learning

Perfectly fluent: English

Fluent at talking and reading, but can’t write (horrible at spelling): Telugu (in two very different dialects)

Illiterate, but can understand everything spoken: Kannada

Can hold tourist level conversations and can read: German and Hindi

What is a tourist level conversation? Talk slowly, pronounce stuff weird, ask ppl to repeat some things if they go too fast or have an accent that’s different than the one I learned.

I’ve noticed that I only know languages in the indo-European and Dravidian families. Deliberating between whether to improve my Kannada or to learn a new east or south east Asian language next to increase my language family count.

English and bad English.

Only English fluently.

I can speak a tiny bit of Spanish. Enough to order food, ask for directions etc.

I can also sort of decipher the meaning of sentences in German, but not fast enough to have a conversation.

English natively, enough Spanish to make friends, enough French to stay out of trouble, and enough Italian to get into trouble. I also have some transactional German (groceries, tickets, coffee, etc). I’m American.

It would take me a few months of daily practice to prepare and get comfortable with anything but Spanish. I haven’t studied the other languages formally, only independently, for travel.

English and enough Spanish to get by if I was lost in Mexico.

Though many words in many languages have a similar root word, so even signage in languages I don’t speak but at least use the same alphabet are usually understandable.
