      You’re only friends with people who can speak the same multiple languages or someone who speaks the only language you know?

        “A” language, not “all” languages. The point being I can’t see how to become close friends without being able to talk to them.

          Exactly which is why I asked for clarification. Your wording can be read as “I speak English and French but this guy speaks English and Spanish so I won’t get to know them because they don’t know a language that I do”
