It was then I discovered the enemy is both beautiful and evil.
Many 4 year degree programs in the USA allow computer language courses as a replacement for the foreign language requirement. Basically the same standard:12+ credits of the same language at college level. I took all the C/C++ they had available back when I got my degree in 92.
Fortran is an ancient computer language but yeah, that should qualify.

a few Vietnamese sentences, greetings and food. Partly from a Vietnamese ministry that I helped with, partly because I like Vietnamese food
Polish greetings - some from a Polish friend and some from a Polish customer
Picking up a little bit of Korean from Korean TV. So far I know that they say "imida" when answering a question and "iMNika" when asking one. And it seems like if you're being somewhat rude you call someone "do" and yourself "ne-GA"

...But I feel rather powerless when I'm in my wife's folks' home in Jeju, as she can speak the local dialect and I'm the clueless foreigner all over again.
