Answer 1

Here's your problem:

userLangs.ForEach(async

This is creating an async void method, because ForEach does not understand asynchronous delegates. So the body of the ForEach will be run concurrently, and Entity Framework does not support concurrent asynchronous access.

Change the ForEach to a foreach, and you should be good:

foreach (var l in userLangs)
{
  var userLanguage = new UserLang();
  userLanguage.UserId = userId;
  userLanguage.LanguageId = await ...
}
