No French, I never liked it.
Fluency in: English, German, Spanish, Polish and Dutch. The other 2 are Italian and Greek. I have a Latinum as well, don't know if that's of any use. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I guess jobs that require many languages in Belgium would also require French...
I take it you don't know what you want to do in life just yet. Finding a job that would take advantage of your language skills is okay, but I recommend you find your passion and find a job that matches that instead. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There are some good ways to use those languages in that answer. Most people don't simply learn a language for no reason. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Belgium is sort of linguistically divided into two parts, with the majority being Dutch.
I'm not looking for a job - I'm rather looking for something interesting to do with them, maybe some philological research or... I don't know!!! I'm actually studying something entirely different, which is Marine Biology. But if in the meantime I can make use of my languages as well - why not. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Fluency is so many languages implies that you get to use them regularly.
Perhaps you should be telling us what to do with so many languages, no the other way around. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Good question. I use them all frequently to communicate with family and friends. I also
use them when I work or do internships - but those jobs are not specifically connected with languages. I've studied all of them (except for Italian, which I've learned because it's similar to Spanish and I had to deal with a lot of Italians at work). I'm currently doing a minor in Modern Greek at Uni. I mostly use them just to communicate, though. I'd like to do much more with them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

... but isn't that exactly what languages are for? 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Yes... but the level remains the same. That's why I would like to participate in some
research program or something that sort of forces you to push your skills to another level. 1 person has voted this message useful |
