I do agree that you need a good memory for this and your memory can be inproved my doing simple mind exercises, for example Brain Training.

I speak English (1), French (2), Manx (3), Italian (4), Spanish(5),  Sign Language and i speak some Russian/Bulgarian.

However i cant pick up German very well, a harsh language for me to get my tongue around.

So about 7 Lanuages all in all.

Answer 15

I'm bilingual Spanish/English and I'm currently learning French, so that would be about 2 and half languages. I've found it's easier to learn a third language when you already have 2. Just be constant on your practice and you will learn it.

Answer 16

The word "fluent" is relative - I've heard people who are supposedly fluent but can't put 2 sentences together without a mistake.

I'm bilingual English/German, speak French, Russian and Swiss German (yes it is a different language) with a limp :-)

It's not just about memory - to learn a language you either have to live in a country where it's spoken or at least live with someone who speaks it. That speeds things up by a factor of 100.
