I just wish I had the acumen and talent to learn a new language, I struggled hard at school to learn French I left with schoolboy French and certainly not fluent but I passed my exam, unless you visit the country you speak the language from you easily forget it! I would love to be bilingual but sadly just English for me. I have tried and tried but just can't get to grips with a new language, I think people who can speak more than two are very impressive and intelligent!

I hate to say but adults are so lazy when it comes to languages and the english are the worst! It took me ages to learn spanish because I wouldnt take it seriously.

That is very true my friend. Do you know when I went to Cyprus out in the little villages the little gypsy children could speak their own language and English fluently, probably better than English speakers, amazing isn't it!

kids do pick it really easily though and they absorb so much information.

i know more than one language.. tagalog, bisaya, and ilocano, three different dialects in the philippines.. and i also know english and spanish.. i mastered the said filipino dialects since i was a kid.. i live in central luzon, which tagalog is the spoken dialect, bisaya is my father's mother language and ilocano is my mother's language.. we filipinos learn english in school and we're required to master it.. and for spanish, i learn to through listening to spanish speakers, but im not very fluent in spanish, and i find it hard introducing myself to a different language, it makes my tongue twist, yet i try to learn more languages, for i know it will benefit me in the near future..

no, I don't. I have to admit, I was bad in English and just got improvement these recent four or five years. back then, it was just no way to type any sentence without spending too much time to think the proper way of grammar usage. :P the first time I knew English was from the language subject in my 3rd grade, and believe me, I only got 7 mark as the highest mark I could ever make. the rests were worse. LOL. up till now, I would rather type or write than speak. LOL. my listening is still poor.
