Spanish, I grew up around my grandmother speaking it a bit, and trying to teach me it, I can understand a decent amount of it, but I also can't speak it. So, it's always fun how disappointed people seem to get. Speaking on that, I have had people trying to insult me in Spanish, but I still can understand more than they think so that's funny as well, I'll just reply to them in English. It's even funnier when when I am on a mic, because I apparently sound very "white". I guess it helps that my grandpa (who I was partly raised by) had a heavy southern accent, and I think I might have picked up a bit of it.

I do have different usernames though, and variations of this one. My ESO account for example: it has a more general username, and all my characters have lore friendly names, because it's Elder Scrolls. I like to do a tiny bit of RP when I play RPGs and Elder Scrolls especially. I have always done lore friendly names for it, and even think of light backstories for my characters. I'm one of those people who actually hates making goof characters, like in Oblivion even.
I always play a serious Orc. Though I will admit, my Oblivion orc's appearance was a little goofy. Just his hair, really. Long and neon-teal. I either name my Elder Scrolls characters Vyre or something random that sounds Orcish but probably isn't. Character I'm working on in Skyrim is named Dumaulk.

I got mistaken for being German once by an Italian man on a transatlantic flight to Frankfurt. He tried speaking to me in German, and I barely know any lol.

Also I had an instructor when I was in Naval Nuclear Prototype named Mrs. Sturm. She haaaaated me.
