Well, a another member registered under the name ziadfazah a couple of days ago, and posting usually draws more attention than being silent.

Same guy or not, I don't know.

Why this "big welcome" to someone who has been a member for 6 years already?
He appears to have become a little more modest since then, down from 59 languages mastered to a misly 50 at native fluency now. Including native French at A2 level*.
And here, for who wants to compare, his first profile:
Quote:

Occupation:     Professor of all foreign languages
Interests:     I do master 59 foreign languages

*
As far as I know, A2 means advanced beginner. And his 'Certificat d'Etudes de Français Pratique' seems to corroborate that fact as it "tests the language skills needed to interact in social and work situations in a French-speaking environment." CEFP1 is the first, most basic level.
Desculpa, mas 50 e o limite. Eu nao posso adicionar mais de 9 linguas aqui.

I speak English, hablo el espanol, ik spreek Nederlands, ich spreche Deutsch a mluvím cesky. Otestujte me.
What's the exact difference between щял съм бил да работя and щях да съм бил работил?

Happy to see you here mr. Fazah. I look forward to seeing you participate in the threads here.

You have stated earlier that you need some time to prepare in those languages which you use less often. May I ask you which languages you are so comfortable in that you do not need any preparation time? Most of us here do only a few languages, and still struggle to keep them up. I would be interested to know how many languages it is possible to have at your fingertips, so to speak.

Different tenses?

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. The languages I feel the most comfortable in are the ones I'm using the most. So it's English, French, Portuguese and Arabic to lesser extent.

I am relieved to hear that, I would have felt slightly depressed if you had listed 30 languages. :-) 4
languages are tough enough to keep up. I am just a bit curious as to why you say "Arabic to lesser extent".
Since I assume Arabic is your native language, I would have thought it would be the easiest to keep up. But
you have perhaps little occasion to practice it in Brazil?
