my [language] is limited
know little of a language
You say your language is limited when you know only a small amount of it.
Hear it in real life
Do you speak German?
A little, but my German is limited.
My Italian is limited, but I can understand simple questions.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: My English is limited to speak with customers.
Say: My English is limited, so I sometimes struggle to speak with customers.
Use "limited" to describe your ability, then use "so" to introduce the difficulty it causes.
