I am (now less of) a compulsive language learner
With a decent Duolingo streak, I should be able to get into trouble in:
🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇳🇱 🇵🇹 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇹🇼 🇭🇰 🇰🇷 🇨🇿 🇷🇺 🇱🇧 🇮🇱 (order not relevant)
After years of serious practice, I should get myself out of trouble in:

I have some kind obsessional disorder with, among other things, maps.
