   It just hit me that the only ones who'll reply 1 in this will be Anglos. Other monolinguals won't understand the question. 😂

   Then again, most monolinguals on the Internet are Anglos, I suppose, so it's fine.

     As for me, since I created the thing I can't reply, but I would click on the last option. I've had simple conversations in 6 languages throughout my life: Portuguese, Spanish, French, Russian, English and Italian. In some of these I can also have complicated conversations.

     I've even had a very simple conversation in German, but since it basically exhausted all my German it doesn't count.

     A girl asked me something in some other language, in a thick German accent. And I went "ja!" Her face lit like a sunrise: "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" And I went: "Nein."

     I've never seen anyone looking more dejected. 😂
