•  I am bilingual, but when I went to school as a child, I was actually taught a total of four languages ( German, English, French and Latin). Back then, I was better in French than I was in English, but that changed after I met my American husband. These days, I don't remember much about French or Latin, but it's still enough to read a menu and order food (well, in French at least. Not much use to order food in Latin) and I can still introduce myself, but that is the extend of it
