How many languages can you hold a five minute conversation in with a native speaker?
Two. Although I can also talk in Spanish only if it's very very basic.
Which languages?
- English
- Korean
How did you acquire these languages?
I grew up speaking Korean in my family.
I also attended an after-school learning center to learn to read and write. I had to recite passages to my mother every night for 5 years before bedtime. I also visit Korea every some odd years. Lastly, watching Korean dramas with English subtitles also helped a lot.
English I learned from school over the years, although I had a very hard time transitioning from Korean to English. I practiced by speaking to my brother in only English.
