When did you learn your first second language? I have a theory that if you learn other languages early in life, it’s “easy” to get other ones, and fluently. I have a lot of Belgians in my life and they show that all the time… But when you learn later, it’s like you only have two modes: native and non-native. I learned Portuguese in my 30s and was getting good at it. Now I’m on to Spanish, can’t speak Portuguese really at all, and actually mix the two all the time (unbeknownst to me until I see confused people reacting to my Spanglish…)
