So I take it you took it upon yourself to learn Mandarin and perhaps also Spanish?

With Spanish and English you can communicate from Canada to Patagonia except for Brazil (and the Brazilians will understand an 80% of spoken Spanish and a 90% of written one because of Romance similarities), among UK, Spain and Scandinavia. Also a good part of France, Portugal and lots of Southern Italians will understand you in Spanish too.
No, but I don’t engage in Mandarin or Spanish communities.

I do engage in English-speaking communities, and I do so using English.
