I speak English fairly well and have survivable French and German, although they are deteriorating through serious lack of use.

I am also (of course) trying to learn Putonghua but that is a struggle, my reading is nearing beginner level, my speaking and listening are bloody awful and my writing is between those two levels.

Cantonese is easier since I hear it all the time. My wife is a native of Guangzhou so a good teacher is always close by.

Most of the people here are bullshittin. If you're not fluent or at least proficient in a language then don't tell someone you can speak it.
