Always Portuguese (Brazil)
At home, we speak English, Portuguese and Dutch.
It was always easy' and very 'normal' to learn a new language. I have only positive memories of it. As a child, I learned languages very quickly and easily. When I came to live in the Netherlands at the age of 22, I learnt Dutch very quickly because I already knew German and English. I watched a lot of children's programmes and Dutch films with subtitles. Within six months, I was fluent in Dutch.
That I am very social, get along with many people easily / make good, trusted connections quickly. I have a good understanding of different cultures. I can also switch between languages effortlessly.
Portuguese, English, Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian and German
I already do, they are raised trilingual: English, Portuguese and Dutch.
During a conference in Cannes, a German colleague was robbed. He needed to report this and had been to the police station, tried to communicate with them in English, but everyone there had just shrugged and said they only spoke French. So he asked me to help him. I went back to the police station with him - my colleague told me things in a mix of German and English, and I told the police officer everything in French, and so on. At the end, when everything was settled, the policeman stood up and said to us, "thank you very much, I?ll go and print out the report" - in perfect English!
Growing up with multiple languages has helped me tremendously as an adult: it is how I got my first job, because ?the only? thing I had on my CV was my languages. It is always extremely valued at work. My social circles are quite large and varied, and it makes travelling easy.
I have lived in nine countries (from birth to now - 44 years) and I speak seven languages. Been in different schools: International, British, American, French, German schools.
