Pray in tongue, many, but none that could interpret.

No. Or they might do and I don’t know. And no - depending on what you mean by ‘praying in tongues’.

I’ve known several people in various protestant churches who claimed to both speak in tongues and have the gift of interpretation. From what I was told by other church members and my own gut feeling I’m fairly certain they were faking to get attention.
My father new a man who seemed to have the gift of interpretation. In his case it only happened on rare occasions with years passing between and he never advertised it.

@stpaul , there are several ways of using the charism of speaking in tongues .
It can be used to convey a message , so on a few occasions I have heard someone speak in tongues with someone interpreting it .
Often I have heard people use the charism to pray in tongues . “For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth.” (1 cor 14:2)

The web link above is on the topic of tongues, written by the Vatican Doctrinal Commission into the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
Stating: tongues is biblical.
Saint Paul says in the bible: ‘I wish you all to pray in tongues.’
Jesus stated in scripture: ‘These are the signs that shall accompany believers: they will pray in tongues, they will cast out demons, they will heal the sick. They will do the same works as Me and greater, because I will send them the Holy Spirit.’

And, what does ‘praying in tongues’, mean, scripturally?
1 Cor 14: 1-4 _‘You must want love more than anything else; but still hope for the spiritual gifts as well, especially prophecy. Anbody with the gift of tongues speaks to God, but not to other people; because nobody understands him when he talks in the Spirit about mysterious things. On the other hand, the man who prophecies does talk to other people, to their improvement, their encouragement and their consolation.’
1 Cor. 14:4-5 ‘The one with the gift of tongues talks for his own benefit, but the man who prophecies does so for the benefit of the community. While I should like you all to have the gift of tongues, I would much rather you could prophesy, since the man who prophesies is of greater importance than the man with the gift of tongues, unless of course the latter offers an interpretation so that church may get some benefit.’
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s1c3a2.htm
‘2003 Grace is first and foremost the gift of the Spirit who justifies and sanctifies us. But grace also includes the gifts that the Spirit grants us to associate us with his work, to enable us to collaborate in the salvation of others and in the growth of the Body of Christ, the Church. There are sacramental graces, gifts proper to the different sacraments. There are furthermore special graces, also called charisms after the Greek term used by St. Paul and meaning “favor,” “gratuitous gift,” "benefit."53 Whatever their character - sometimes it is extraordinary, such as the gift of miracles or of tongues - charisms are oriented toward sanctifying grace and are intended for the common good of the Church. They are at the service of charity which builds up the Church.54’

I know (or know of) some who claim both gifts, but I will not vouch for the veracity of their claims.

yes I have. A non-Catholic Christian man. It was quite convincing. However, this was years ago and looking back there was something once he claimed “God told him”, something specific which not only didn’t happen, but the opposite did. So that put a damper on all his prophecies to me.
see Deuteronomy 18:20-22

You dont learn how to speak in tongues. It is a gift from God.
