having a secret language is a big plus! Super impressed that you became so fluent. You must have studied a great deal to get that way.

Shamefully I accidentally learned it while intensely studying Italian so I could communicate better with my partner at the time. I did work exclusively with Khmers and Filipinos that were fluent in Khmer, and my social world was fully Khmer, so I guess it was bound to happen.

After 4-5 years of accidentally learning I began to take it more seriously when I started teaching it myself. It was a way to escape the monotony of ESL classes, and a new challenge teaching a second language to non-native speakers.
