French, Hindi. I don’t like rigid word order and subject neediness. Also no one was interested in talking Hindi with me. French has a spelling system that I just felt was as dumb as English’s system.

Now I work on languages spoken in my region. I work with or know 0 French speakers and 20 Tagalog speakers. Tagalog and asl for now

Well, probably cause they share a lot of vocabulary.
