hindi and spanish my mother tongues,
arabic and english are my second.
my boss considered me as an asset as i can communicate with different kinds of visitors having different nationalities.
if there is / are language/s that you wanted to learn, what are those and why?

woooww...it's great mastering four languange in a row.how can you did it??are your family did so??
I can write in English but not pretty good on speaking.I had learn about Japanese and Chinese when I'm senior high school but it's not work good for me since I'm not interested on that languange -Chinese is very hard to learn.I want to know Italian and French, but I don't know where I have to learn

i studied english on my own.
adopted arabic since i've been here long time
and my dad and mom too can speak arabic
since they met here in the arab word when they were
on their twighlight years. my dad is from spain
and mom is from india so i don't need to study spanish and
hindi as that's our language.

A polyglot speaks "several" languages, so yes - you're one! I don't think there's a more specific definition (like a certain number of languages).
Personally, I'd love to learn Japanese. I've tried several times but never have enough focus, so I just have to stick with the three I know: English, French and Complete Nonsense!

Well, officially I'm just bilingual, since two languages isn't "several". If I can add another two, I would be. Unless three is several, though I think it'd just be trilingual.

Indeed you are! Congratulations, I wish I had your talent.
I really only speak English and like many English people struggle to lean another language, I can, at a push, speak a little French, Swahili and Afrikaans but only a very little. I would like to improve in Afrikaans
all the best urban

yes a polyglot can speak and understand different language so probably it can apply to you too considering that you are able to speak and understand 4 different languages!!

I would like to improve my English level, because you can speak around over the world with. Most people are learning this tongue. Further there are good works of literature to find. Interesting could be Latin and ancient Greek too because are root languages.

That is great. Good for you but go ahead and use them. It is always said about laguage, "Use it or lose it".
