A second and a third.
I was learning my fourth, but due to extenuating circumstances I had to stop. But I also spoke another, years ago, and was able to read and write in another language; 5 in total I have known.

that's awesome.
I find languages very hard to learn.
@Jackson: If you speak Mandarin WOW. That would be such a challenge for any one not familiar with your phonetics; so that's for me, very impressive :)
I had a hard time with french because of the verb/noun transpositions, it just threw me off :)

@Lunadelobos: yeah, I'm learning French right now and I'm still trying to memorize the verbs and conjugating. 😥 (which I'm failing)
I was born and grew up and spent most of my life in China so Chinese isn't really hard for me. 😂
@Jackson:
You see, perspective is everything
or should I say your linguistic origins :) ?

My first languages are Latvian and Russian: totally unrelated languages
(they are both of the Indo-European family)
and I was blessed to learn them simultaneously.
English, came later.

@Lunadelobos: I tried Russian 😑
didn't go as I thought it will...
@Jackson:
People say it's hard...I can't say that :)
Well, try again.
Or just go and live there for a year or so, that'll do it for sure :D
