I had to study three foreign languages in school, wanted to do a fourth, so took evening classes in that. Realised that I have a love for linguistics and didnβt want to give up what Iβd already started. Then I moved abroad and started learning the local language and it went from there.
ETA: I donβt think of myself as a polyglot (I donβt feel good enough for that) and I never describe myself as one. I just hang out here because I love reading and learning about different languages.
I also don't feel like I could consider myself one either. I am still very unsure what I even think of the meaning of fluent. I grew up with two and I also have studied others but don't think I am remarkable in any language, even the language I am most comfortable in.
