Cantonese, Mandarin, and English (obviously).

And Spanish, if you count knowing a few phrases as "knowing" a language...

The words I know are: Hola? Como Estas? Muy Bien, E tu? Me llama Pizza. Uno Dos Tres Seis Cinco...

Yea thats about all I know... 🤷‍♂️

If I tried to speak Chinese (either Cantonese or Mandarin) in China and they didn't know I grew up in the US, they would probably assume I have a learning disability (because that's how much I suck at it)

Funny thing is, I could just randomly strike up a conversation with foreigners in China with my perfect English and they'd be like "Omg a Chinese person speaks perfect English?" 😅, but then they'd probably quickly realize that I grewup abroad. (I really wanna try that trick one day, I love to surprise people like that)
