(1) If you DO speak more than one language, what are they? 🤔

(2) Any TIPS for those of us who would like to do the same? 🤔

I just listened to this 8-minute podcast and thought it may "interest" someone. It really was very HELPFUL "in my opinion"...

📋There's a secret to learning many languages — and it has nothing to do with smarts!

My "challenge" is the conversational Spanish. 🙄

When I am doing household stuff, I pick a Spanish movie or TV Show (Spanish version of English ones I am familiar with) and listen to.

Thank you @Tempest332 and @ts9711 for your comments! 😉

That takes a certain mind to pick up on that way of thinking, I could not read music, let alone pick up Morse code in order to upgrade my Amateur Radio License years ago. 

I doubtfully will be traveling anywhere in my lifetime to have to know another language (Spanish in the Southern U.S.), & I knew a handful of French Words to use in P.Q., doubtfully will ever need that again.  I check Language translations in my employment at times, but it's verbatim, & I still can occasionally find mistakes from the translators from a few languages even not knowing the language.   Years ago that would had been an asset though.

I speak English and Spanish.  My Spanish is intermediate level;  I can read the Bible or a periodical with fair fluency.  

Tip:  Associate with native speakers.  If you are an aural learner and can tolerate repetition, Pimsleur is good.  If you want colloquial Latin-American Spanish, try Rocket Languages online.  Rosetta Stone is good if you can afford it -- colorful visuals and a well-thought-out curriculum.

Hi @ts9711 , I am NOW back in Florida, use to live in Virginia. Luv YOUR "tip" on NATIVE speakers!!! Lol, I am NOW "surrounded" by them here in Florida. 🥳💃

Please keep us in mind for any other TIPS.

Hoping I can one day be able to SPEAK & UNDERSTAND other folks in SPANISH. In my 60's, but NEVER too late....👍
