nice joke, but no, i know 4.The toughest for me personally is czech.
I swear every single time someone mentions language or doesn't explicitly say where they're from someone will fight you saying that you only know one language and one culture and you can't possibly know anything else lol
The problem is that speaking different languages is not even remotely the same thing as knowing anything about linguistics. People have no idea of how little they actually know about the use of language.
I'm honestly not sure about how people would go about learning a language without getting so involved that you inevitably catch all of that, I've never thought about it.
