I am fortunate to be a competent linguist!

I’m able to speak my home language fluently obviously, and I’m able to speak Yiddish through my maternal grandmother. Russian of course!

I have learned to use English (in the style of the original people of the language - the English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿!), I can understand and get by in Romanian, Hungarian and even German (not quite as competently).

I can order food in Dutch and French, but having English, which very much is the linguafranca, I can speak to others if they have some English too. Languages are interesting.
