qonwI' said:

	jISov, 'ach tera'ngan HolDaq mu'mey qab 
	vIjatlhbe', vaj tlhIngan HolDaq vIjatlhbe', je. 

	(Excuse the grammer, I wasn't sure how to word that.  :-)  ) 

This works well; just note that you aren't actually speaking *around* or
*on* these languages. The noun suffix {-Daq} only means "in" physically. So
rather than saying {tera'ngan HolDaq} "on the Terran language(s)", you could
say {tera'ngan Hol vIjatlhtaHvIS} "while I speak terran language(s)".
