(who is of course Dutch ) speaks 5 languages including Greek.

When he first said to me he spoke Greek I thought "Oh yes, a few dirty words and that's about it". I was amazed when I saw him reading a Greek newspaper, and yes, his knowledge of anything Greek is better than mine :furious: :hehe:

Weird to think people used to worry that bilingualism was actually bad for people's health and the cause of confusion. :shrug:

as it would confuse them, how stupid is that?

My children are now tri-lingual, English, Spanish and Greek

however, I found the best way to get round it is to try and relax as the harder you try the worse it gets; the moment you relax then it all comes back.

linguist and she has also studied German, French, Japanese, Arabic (because of it influence to the Spanish language) and Portuguese

someone learns two or three languages it triggers a switch in the brain almost and make it easier to go on and learn five or six languages.

However, Frisian is indeed a seperate language. Much different from Dutch, actually a bit familiar to both English and German, how stupid that may seem.
