    I can only speak one language. English.

    I am learning two other languages - Afrikaans and Russian. Not fluent in them yet.

    My biggest problem is with Spanish. I have tried learning the language... but it seems to be a tough nut to crack.

    I speak three languages but not Spanish. I think I can learn it fast because I like how it sounds…

    I speak two languages as a result of having been born in Panama to West Indian parents. As my parents spoke to each other and to me, English became my first language. I learned Spanish from the neighborhood kids and in school. While I'm completely bilingual (speak, write and read), English is the language that rolls of the tip of my tongue. In order to speak Spanish, I still have to translate my thoughts before each utterance.

    Spanish is arguably the easiest languange to learn, with Portuguese a close second. Once a person knows either one, the other is the easiest to learn.
