Wow, six languages. What languages do you speak, and how did you learn them?

  Portuguese - native speaker Spanish - I used to spend my summer vacations as a child, quite close to Spain, which allowed me to follow Spanish TV (80's no cable back then) and have a few Spanish friends French - Three years at high school in Portugal. Lived in France for a couple of years while working at CERN. English - Five years at high school. Reading English since the late 80's, as a way to get information about ZX Spectrum and similar systems in Portugal. Local press was quite limited. Working in international environments since I graduated. German - Living in Germany since a few years. Always took care to learn the language. Italian - Thanks to my knowledge with the other Latin languages, Italian friends, occasional vacations in Italy and lots of books and movies in Italian Plus ability to understand Catalan, Galician and Mirandese.

    You'll have a head start on Romanian as well. Probably you could understand quite a bit of it without doing any work at all.

      Probably, never got around to try it though.
