How many languages can you hold a five minute conversation in with a native speaker?
3
Which languages?
- English
- Tagalog
- Spanish
How did you acquire these languages?
My parents are both from the Philippines. I grew up speaking both Tagalog and English and never had trouble between the two. I'm not as good with Tagalog now since I don't speak it much anymore, but I still consider myself fluent minus some specific words.
I took Spanish for three years in elementary school and four years in high school. I used to practice it a lot when I took AP Spanish my senior year, but after that I kind of stopped paying attention to it. When I played S4 League I managed tournaments featuring international teams, and I would frequently have to speak Spanish over TeamSpeak, but that was two years ago. I don't really have trouble speaking Spanish now but I wouldn't say I'm fluent, definitely conversational if anything.
