how many foreign languages can you use?
I see sometime that in the anglosaxon world it is not too common to speak more than 1-2 languages, whereas from not anglosaxon especially living in the EU where you work here and there in the end we end up speaking more than 1-2
I speak fluently Spanish, English, Italian, German and I can use some Dutch, French and Portuguese. I also can read and hear some Latin but since we learnt it as a "dead language" I cannot really talk it.
My wife the same as me and at home we use a kind of funny pidgin language borrowing words and expression from the different ones we know
I'm a native speaker of English, and fluent in Japanese.
In France or Italy people laugh when I speak their languages, but they mostly understand.
