    I'm so jealous of Europeans who learn so many different languages growing up...

    I speak Chinese and English primarily, extremely basic Spanish and some weeaboo Japanese.

    I speak English fluently, and I also speak a little bit of Vietnamese at home (although I'm not very fluent at it). I took Spanish classes in high school, but I forgot mostly everything after years of no practice, so I only know a few words and some basic grammar rules. My Japanese is decent, but I'm still learning to improve it, and I just started taking French classes (I underestimated how hard French is lol).

    English (graduate school level), Cantonese (high school level), Mandarin (fluent non-native), Japanese (N3-N2ish?). I put Cantonese as a separate language cause it's quite different from Mandarin. More than the Japanese dialects are from each other at any rate. My kansai-ben listening is as good as my hyoujungo from watching NMB but I've never actually spoken it to anyone. Hakata-ben lags a bit behind because HKT doesn't use it very much...

    English, Chinese, Japanese.
    I took Higher Chinese during my secondary school but didn't take the O levels.
    (Higher Chinese requires us to debate issues on current affairs, and my teacher was someone from China if I could remember.)
    Sometimes I would converse and write in Japanese in my work to communicate with my colleagues in Japan, skipped N3 and passed JLPT N2. (Took about 2 years or so.)
    TBH I actually think my Japanese is better than my dialect, I really can't speak my own dialect for shit.

    Trilingual is more than enough for me, at least it's somewhere where I can feel comfortable with, the term "polyglot" sounds kinda like a retard, no offence.
