Native English

A tiny bit of French. My public school French education was a bit of a mess, lots of long-term substitutes and then substitutes for those substitutes, so none of it really stuck. If someone talks slowly I can usually catch the gist of what they’re saying, but probably wouldn’t be able to string the words together to respond.

And I’ve gotten myself to be somewhat passable at Esperanto using Duolingo.

I may make another run at learning French at some point.

Wouldn’t mind learning Polish, Italian, Gaelic, and/or Albanian, since that’s where my ancestors came from. Never been particularly great at language-learning though so that’s a huge stretch.

Also always thought it would be cool to learn Unami (the language spoken by the Lenape people who originally lived in the area I do)

And I’ve spent enough time in tiki bars that I occasionally think about learning Hawaiian or some other Polynesian language
