To be fair you can also understand beginner level Azerbaijani, Gagauz, and Qashqai which is pretty good peogress.

I am the world’s shittiest polyglot. I lost a lot of my native language, turkish. I can get by. I speak english, but my accent is getting worse. I studied german in school for 5 years and forgot most of it. I live in the river plate, so the shitty amount of intermediate spanish I can speak has one of the worst accents for spanish, just behind tied first of caribbean and chilean. I can READ cyrillic, but not understand it, except few words whichever language has in common with languages I know. I can recognize some chinese glyphs, and understand some words.
I have no idea about any grammar words except the obvious ones (verb, noun) and get as much use of IPAs as I do IPAs (the pronunciation guide/the beer)
I have seen the vowel chart a billion times and still don’t understand it.

But did you use AI for this post? … otherwise your English is pretty sound (to me as a non-native speaker) :D

English is my primary language. I said my accent is getting worse, which is only a spoken thing
