So, I really liked French in college (3 years!) and taught myself Esperanto, and thought, "I know! I love languages... I'll get a minor in linguistics!"

Yeah, no. I discovered pretty quickly that linguistics has nothing to do with learning to speak a bunch of languages, and was just endless sentance diagramming and instructors who are fascinated by glottal stops.

So I went and lived in Germany for a couple of years and learned to speak that, and then had to stop the fun and start a career. Now, I have forgotten all of my French and most of my German, and my Esperanto is crap, too, and so I'm back down to measly English.

I natively speak English and Korean, learned to speak somewhat decently in Japanese and tried to learn a bit in Filipino, Esperanto, Spanish, and Punjabi thanks to my friends

For me personally I find that trying to learn my friend's native languages is more encouraging than any other course as I just want to better understand what they're saying as I frequently make friends that aren't fluent in English. Although due to frequently translating for my family though I find that I can understand them regardless of imperfect English skills, not sure how that works🤷‍♀️

Sorry I went off tangent but I hope this acts as a decent reply for what you're looking for~🤗

I speak English. That's a foreign language for me... Does that count?

Well, uh, you know what they say…
