When you speak their language, it's dificult not to identify with them in some way. I've always said that learning a language is not only about vocabulary, but also very often about learning a brand new culture and way of life.
Fluently? That's pretty good.

I speak one fluently and a two decently and two more like crap.

You do know what I mean though...right? Inversion and all that good stuff. Syntax is different and that indicates a different manner in thinking. I actually forgot what it is called and I will be looking it up because of this.
