    Grew up with Kazakh/Russian and Hebrew but can't remember shit lmao. Growing up learning English was hard because of the grammar. I still make mistakes so I'm sorry to everyone that reads my horrible grammar English!
    I can only really speak English and Spanish now but hoping I can jump back into my other languages at some point.

    If sign language counts, then I know 3! My sister was born deaf and then the whole family learned. I want to do a specialization because I also use it in my work.
    It counts its the 12th official language in South Africa

    Yeah it's great!! It's also really helpful for explaining more confusing concepts/complex grammar rules, and you can ask it about which words/slang differ by region.

    I speak fluent English, Spanish, Hindi, and Arabic. But I also know a few words in Russian, Japanese, Bengali that I've picked up.

    Why? Because my job takes me to all these places almost monthly, for the last 9 years or so. You pick things up from the people you meet haha.

    My native language is Bulgarian (I strongly suspect I'm the only one here and I'm kinda proficient in English and French - studied in a French language high school, then a few years in France, then at a much later stage went to uni to get a Master degree in French language/translation. English - I studied it all by myself. I also know Russian (rather good at reading, not so good at talking) and I'm currently studying German. Tried Finnish for a while, beautiful language, awfully hard, and Arabic - same story (I was teaching Science (my first uni degree) in a Lebanese school and one of the Arabic language teachers helped me start learning it. As Bulgarian uses Cyrillic alphabet, Arabic was the third one for me and I didn't do very well in learning it, I must admit

    What are people's favorite language-learning resources? For people who are proficient in more than one language, what method/tactic best helped you?

    I'm not bilingual but I've found podcasts can be a fun and helpful way of learning a new language! You get a lot of listening time in and often they ask you to repeat what is said so you can practice pronunciation
