English and Turkish.
I can also communicate with some animals, I am fluent in dog and bird.
I only know a few swear words in cat.
I think the interviewers would be impressed when they see my resume.
do you guys say spolai ti for thank you
also do you have a dish called maznik or zelnik

because we have all that in macedonian and apparently "spolai ti" is from from turkish (we got a lot of turkish loanwords)

Haha lol yea, was born in South Africa, our maid spoke Zulu and taught me, at the same time parents spoke Polish at home, and also at the same time kids at school spoke english. Spanish and Japanese I started learning a bit later, because I had spanish and Japanese friends hehe.

Though the really clicky language is Xosa. You click on the X. They have a series of different types of clicks, 4 different types I think, with a different tone for each vowel. Quite complicated haha/
