I was talking to my friend about this yesterday as she was discussing her greek flatmates. She said all her flatmates were at least tri-lingual and that she felt shame that she could only speak English. I feel shame too as English is my only language as well

So we were trying to find answers( excuses) as to why this is the case in this country because I know for the most part we're not the exception, we're the rule. But before I opst my excuses I would just like to know what other languages members of the forum can speak and how these languages were learnt( i.e parents, independant, country placement)

Any replies will be appreciated
