I think there's loads of people who speak more than one language (and I mean fluently, not just learning it for 3 months) before they turn 18.
I'm 17. I speak Portuguese (my mother tongue), Spanish (which I consider my first language) and English (having moved to Ireland years ago). I'm currently looking to learn French and Japanese ^_^ 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, I just turned 18, and as you can see, I speak a lot of languages.

Impressive! How do you define "speaking" a language? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, I consider speaking is to have a conversation about a topic in that target language. Like we are doing here in English.
To be honest, I have no idea how I learned. Mostly I used the library in my town, or had the internet as a source. Yea I am still learning. My goal is to achieve every language in the world. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I expect to speak 4 languishes fluently at the age of 18 and also be decent in a 5th one. Right now I speak Swedish
and English fluently and I expect to achieve fluency in Spanish this year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You will never be able to learn every language in the world. You simply do not have enough time in your entire life. Maybe you mean 'every commonly known language'. Languages that are to some degree widely spoken. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

First of all, don't be offended but we don't have any evidence of your command in all those languages. I have serious doubts about your proficiency in every single tongue you listed on your profile, especially because you "don't know how you learnt them". This forum is full of exceptional polyglots and for that reason a phony is easily spotted here. Unless you are affected by Asperger syndrome, there is no way you can be fluent in so many languages at your age. 1 person has voted this message useful |
