My dad is Persian, he wanted me to learn his language, Farsi, I never learned, I tried.

you can lower the goal posts, and concentrate on the most basic Farsi, but before that it is essential to learn the alphabet, as a foundation for further learning-

I barely say anything in English. I'm sure there are other languages I can also be mainly nonverbal in.

Native language Cantonese. Speak and hear. Not read or write

English

French 3

Japanese 2, high school


Learning a different language takes too much energy and insufficient product. Having said that Spanish or Vietnamese would be convenient because common

I currently learn German at college and also am starting to put effort into French. I plan to continue my study of both.
