Mandarin. After the Tian An Men Square massacre, Princeton had about 40 dissidents come to study. (I think it was part of a deal among the university, the U.S. government, and the Chinese government.) I worked for the IT helpdesk at the time, and I gave them a talk on the computing resources available (with the help of a Taiwanese student employee -- I wrote up the talk in Chinese with his help, but then he translated for the question-and-answer phase). It was loads of fun.
Oddly, I’m even more tickled to find somebody who’s done number 4.
