children learn languages easily without any efforts.
my children speak 5 languages fluently because we have lived in multiple countries , but not in china and not in japan .
it is hard to keep up with them. once you spend time in one country and you speak only one language all the time, it takes you a while until you become fluent and eloquent in your other languages again.
I’m so impressed!
What are these five languages?
I admire your kinda-nomadic lifestyle. I’m very much rooted to my home country ;(

it helped to study 8 years of latin in school which is a dead language but very useful to understand power, philosophy and the world in general. furthermore i speak schwyzerduetsch. it is a recognized language which is not even understood by germans and it only exists spoken. german is used in writing.
travelling, living and working in different countries for a long time comes with different passports. it improves your life because you can choose to live freely almost anywhere you want. i believe that latin america is the beacon of freedom...
how many languages do you speak and how did you learn them ?
