This talk introduces Cameroon’s multilingual landscape, with over 250 languages alongside English and French. I will share my first and second languages and explain how Cameroon Pidgin English serves as a lingua franca. Drawing on personal experience, I reflect on how multilingualism has shaped my identity, adaptability, and communication in Japan’s diverse sociocultural contexts.
