One thing I love doing is to learn to say “I don’t speak <language>” as well as possible in a language I don’t speak. If you’re good enough at it, people will assume it’s a joke and try to speak to you in that language you don’t actually know. Apparently I’m pretty good at saying it in Portuguese, but I wouldn’t know.
You type in English because it’s the only language you know.

Most of what I got out of a Japanese class I took was how to say that I don’t understand Japanese.

Excuse me I am more fluent in Gibberish than I am in English

I can’t interpret that without the manual and tonal markers
Because I’m a fairly basic Chinese (Mandarin) learner, this gave me a moment of feeling dumb before realising it’s Cantonese.
xD
Mandarin has too many speakers already, so I feel like using a more obscure language like Cantonese is more “brag-worthy” 😁
