Greek, English, and I understand a bit of French, since my husband is French. I lived for 9 months in Germany too, and I could understand a bit of that too, but that was 30 years ago and I've forgotten most of it.
Truth is, I don't really like verbal communication, in any language. I have trouble finding words (including my native one), it's as if my brain is not optimized for language. It gets worse when I'm sick (I have multiple autoimmune issues), it's as if language becomes a barrier. My husband becomes aggravated when I can't find the right words to communicate. I wish we had telepathy, communicating with feelings.
