Linear
two are are from my parent's mother tongue (it's a local language in indonesia)
one is indonesian
one is english
and the last one is arabic cuz they teach those at my school (but I can't remember it anymore, so it's probably four languages that I know now)
local indonesian languages are a lot more like their own languages than anything. In fact Malaysian is more similar to Indonesian than most "dialects".
You would not understand anything said by the people on a different island because theyre virtually speaking a different language with different slang and altered grammatical structure
- Local indonesian language (Sunda and Jawa)
- Bahasa Indonesia
- Melayu
- English
(Still learning Japanese and Korean cause i like reading manga/manhwa)

I'm from India
i can have a 70~80% fluent conversation with a japanese person
its not as good as korean and english though
can i ask where are you from? 'm trying to learn japanese do you have any suggestions? and honestly more than anything i want a friend whom i can converse with, where can i find japanese people that speak english( like forums or communities and so on)
my first language was korean and korean and japanese language have many things in common, like sentence structures and some words are same. so I kinda learnt it relatively easily by watching anime and studying on youtube
3 fluent
1 understand and speak a bit but can't write or read
1 understand and speak pretty good but not fluent at all
5 languages
Romanian, English - fluent
Spanish, Italian, French - conversational (but somewhat limited due to low usage lately, even though they're easy to understand for me)
Location: Romanian living in US
Later Edit: Since I moved to LA, I hoped I was going to refresh my Spanish more, but the Spanglish is too strong lol
being romanian is a hack, u dont even need to learn anything to speak a bit of many languages in europe
to speak, maybe you do need to learn some... but to understand, yeah, I agree
that's the advantage of having a latin-based (romance) language, with some slavic and turkish influences. We understand a lot lol
spanish (i even understand slangs from different countries which sounds like easy but thrust me slangs from spanish speaking countries differ a lot from each other)
english
trying to learn portuguese and japanese but at least i understand many sentences and many words tbh. i also watch br posts on portuguese here and br ranked and its kinda easy to understand what people saying because portuguese is similar to spanish (languages from latin)

Shout-out to my Asian and European homies for teaching me their language, why I love a diverse city like my own, London❤️
Doesn't hurt to be nice and once they know you're friendly it's easy to get along.
English
French (majority of conversations I have with fam are 60% English 40% French)
Russian (learning atm) я говорю немного по-русски
Spanish (did it in primary school and still remember a fair bit in conversation)
can partially understand listening to it(no depth in vocab) are Korean and Japanese thanks to anime and k-drama and Punjabi(chandigarh- my university which i am studying in)
can speak are English,Hindi,Telugu(mother tongue),Tamil,Kannada
i can write what i speak except Tamil
I can only write and understand the meaning of Sanskrit(language used in old manuscripts in India) but cant speak
I can only speak portuguese
but I speak portuguese better than 99% of brazilians
so I'm fine with it
