I know this sounds crazy but I know Punjabi (1st language), Hindi, English, Spanish, and Gujrati (but I can not write it).

Punjabi: I was born in Chandigarh, my Mom and Dad (and me, of course) are Punjabi.
Hindi: I live in India... in Chandigarh
English: school
Spanish: extra classes
Gujrati: my BFF moved to Chandigarh and could only speak Gujrati.
French: classes
Urdu: similar to Punjabi, picked it up
The reason I am asking this is because, well. I felt like it....

English now (I think in English too, which was an interesting realization a few years back) Hindi- When I was back in India, I spoke very pure form of Hindi Punjabi- can understand
Urdu - can understand
Gujrati and French can undestand a little bit (French really little)😊
Oh.. I took some lessons to read German...with a dictionary...but I am sure it is all gone now.
