    Perfectly fluent: English

    Fluent at talking and reading, but can’t write (horrible at spelling): Telugu (in two very different dialects)

    Illiterate, but can understand everything spoken: Kannada

    Can hold tourist level conversations and can read: German and Hindi

    What is a tourist level conversation? Talk slowly, pronounce stuff weird, ask ppl to repeat some things if they go too fast or have an accent that’s different than the one I learned.

    I’ve noticed that I only know languages in the indo-European and Dravidian families. Deliberating between whether to improve my Kannada or to learn a new east or south east Asian language next to increase my language family count.
