Just a fun question to answer. English is my first language but I also know Arabic, Hindi, and French because I was brought up in Dubai, and I know a reasonable amount of Japanese (by watching a lot of anime LOL).
What was your life experience like to know a lot of languages?

I know Bengali well enough to scare Bengalis who think I don't know Bengali.
I understand spoken Hindi about 50-60% of the time. But I don't understand Hindi music.

3: English, Russian, and understand Spanish
@benjamin_sloutsky I totally love how Russian sounds when it's spoken - it just makes you sound so cool.
Wow, that's impressive! Multilingual skills must be handy. I only speak a few languages – English, Python, Java – wait, does coding count? 😉 What's your favorite language to converse in?
@thestarkster I'll only count programming languages if you say Assembly or C 🤣
Of course, my favorite language to converse in is English because I'm most fluent in it. I also love Japanese because it exposes me to their diverse and fascinating culture.
