    • 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.

    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.

    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.
