Can you speak Chinese and what other languages do you speak?

I'm the 3rd gen Cambodian born Chinese. According to my father, my ancestors were from Mei county, Guangdong province （梅县，广东省）。We no longer have any relatives there.

Nice. Now we're related too. I speak hakka too. We're from Mei Zhou, Guangdong province. But I wasn't born in China, yet I am pretty fluent with the dialect. I am the first generation over seas Chinese.
The only sad part is I am unable to write or read Chinese.

My English proficiency is at 100%. My Shanghainese is almost native, about 80-90%; both my parents are from Shanghai (I was born there as well but came to the US as a boy), and this is what I speak to them so I've been able to keep it up. My Mandarin is horrible; I can possibly understand 33-50% of Mandarin dialogue. I took German in high school and university, but I can read/write/speak maybe 10% or less at this point since I never use it anymore.

I'm able to read and write Chinese being a native, but I had to constantly look up how to write certain characters with my phone.

I speak English with an odd mix of about 80% American accent, 15% Chinese accent and 5% British accent. Mostly due to me being a Chinese native, studied in a British secondary & high school, addicted to Youtube since 2008 and currently attending an American college.

Non-Americans (Australian, British, Kenyan, Ethiopian, Scottish) think I speak in American accent, Americans think I have that "American born Chinese" feel and I pronounce certain words like a Brit.

I used to be able to speak a bit of French, since I took it at school up to GCSE level. However, I'm probably unable to remember any/much of it anymore.

My English proficiency is 100% - it's my native language.

I would ideally love to learn a bit of Chinese one day in the future, but at the moment, I cannot read/speak/understand any Chinese at all.

Now can any one of you sing Chinese as well as this girl? Amazing girl with degree from Fudan in Chinese geopolitic. She would shoe in for job with CIA
