So i’m fluent in English and a specific proto-sign language that as far as i know only a few hundred people sign. I can order food and ask where the toilet is in about 30-50 languages, depending on the day. My Spanish and German are rusty: i have production issues but my receptive is competent. All my other romance languages (except basque and romanian, i haven’t looked at those at all) are decent enough to travel and make an ass of myself. My germanic and nordic languages are worse than my romance ones. Do not ask me anything in Afrikaans I will assume you are drunk.
