I speak 5 fluently. I put this down to: -
Travel
Politeness
Necessity
Curiosity
Which 5?
shareEnglish
Thai
Khmer
Indonesian
French
Plus a smattering of a few others.
What was the most difficult one of the last four?
shareInteresting question. I learned French at school and honed it by spending time there.
I lived in Thailand for a while and when I travelled to other countries in SE Asia, I found understanding their languages easy (my wife is Indonesian, so I had an advantage [or disadvantage ]) there, lol.
I think that it comes down to how the synapses gets in your brain get wired; the more exposure you get, the easier it becomes.
That's awesome. Necessity as in suddenly being in a place that doesn't speak English?
