How many languages can you learn?

tombela @tombela (72) • Vietnam 30 Jan 10

I wonder if we spend most of our time on learning languages, how many languages can one learns and of course can use it in the life's time. I know someone who can learn more than 200, what is your ability?

arumisan As many as I can:D But in all seriousness, I guess it depends on the fluency levels you want to achieve in the language. Additionally, depending on what your mother tongue was, it may be easy to pick up other languages of a similar nature. In contrast, you...

arumisan I've seen more anime movies than I have of series. But then again, I'm more of a manga person, so I'm not surprised that I've haven't seen much. However I've seen a fair few, just not completed (as in I've seen bits and pieces of the series).
