To be fair, I grew up in a multicultural family so I spoke 3 languages since I was young. I didn't need to learn them all completely from scratch :)

And thanks to that, it was easier to learn other languages since there are many similarities in Germanic languages for example.

only English and our native language Tagalog for now.. but willing to learn other languages. The only thing that hinders me from embracing other language is my time- how much time will I commit from learning a new one? I am pretty sure, you have same situation like mine..?

I know a few phrases / lot of vocab in 10+ languages but none of them I really understand I say 3 languages they are the ones I can listen in and have made an effort to learn and practice / keep fresh I passed my school exams in French and German but I can't for the life of me recall the languages as I should be able to. Sometimes I think I learn the next and it pushes first out of my head. So now I try to cognate the languages together.

I can relate too. 

Especially now that I have small children, it became pretty much impossible to focus on learning new language, maybe when they are sleeping... :grin: So if you want to learn seriously a foreign language do it before you make kids :grin: My next goal is to teach my children more than 1 language :)

The trick is to learn a language to a high level (B2 or better) before moving on to another one.

In Thailand now. Next up Tanzania and Philippines.

Great advice! I will keep that in mind. Best of luck teaching your children a new language! :) That's really cool!
