#presumably if you go to the trouble of intentionally learning additional languages then you'd be able to understand ppl using them normally

new shitty superpower idea: you can understand anyone on the planet, but ONLY if they are either speaking in your mother tongue or any language other than their own. you know exactly what someone's saying if they have to keep jumping between languages they've previously dabbled in because they don't remember much vocab from any, or if they learned a second language through schooling or personal hobby interest, but if somebody's multilingual due to being raised with multiple languages, you'd better hope they figure out they need to speak in something else or you're likely screwed
