English term or phrase: I'm into tongues
I'm trying to translate this phrase into a series of non-roman character languages; ideally preserving the language/anatomy double meaning, and the colloquial sense of "into."

外国語大好き、(外国語習うの大好き)
Explanation:
First means "I love foreign languages", second in parethesis means "I love learning foreign languages". First one as you see 6 characters, the latter 9 characters.
Both would be good for limited space, anc colloquial.
