Why do you study all those languages? Do you need them because your live in foreign countries, travel a lot or is it just for fun?
Now, I'm American, which means I have to work a little harder to learn languages than some others, for example, whose proximity to other countries makes immersion easy.

But for me, anyway, there's nothing better than learning another language, another way of thinking. Learning another language is like tapping into a new set of friends.

Other than that, I don't know. I think I'm just wired to learn them, and to love to travel. I'm not happy when I'm living the monolingual life.

It's not natural.
