Just like Prezbucky defined How much of each language do you know? I am sorry for the confusion. I am not fluent in all these languages I maybe fluent in half of them the rest I know how to read or write or understand more than speak. But I do know all those languages in one way or the other. When I came to USA I was very shy and will try not to engage in conversation with fear that I may sound incorrect or my grammar may be wrong and that kept me from learning. People thought I was stupid and they had no idea that how many languages I know and all they knew was English. I never went to a school to learn all those languages. I taught myself. From streets, books, tapes, TV, Radio and what ever I could find The best way out of all those was having a Girlfriend.

...and I bet that language awareness was just one benefit of having the girlfriend. hehe
