not to go way way off topic but as far as the gift of speaking in tongues goes all you have to do is ask for it and receive it by faith. There are a lot of mention of it in the bible, but a lot of denominations basically outlaw it of some reason.
"Lord I trust your holy spirit to intercede in prayer on behalf of x y z in the name of Jesus" then let yourself do it without worrying about what you sound like
That's why there must be an interpretation. My pastor once reubuked a woman who stood and started trying to speak in tongues in the middle of service. It doesn't work all willy nilly like that.
"Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret."
