Yeah, but you 3 are so fluent.

I mean, obviously there are Germans that don't really speak English, and you wouldn't see them here, but some Germans speak the language very nicely. I was never much of a polyglot myself, foreign language class being the only subject I failed at secondary school (it was German, actually). I know a little Spanish and Latin, but not even semi-fluent in either.

I don't like this view, though, that people who speak a few languages are really smart. I'm pretty sure a dumb person, give enough time and a good enough teacher, can fluently learn Foreign Language X; also, a smart person might struggle with learning foreign languages.
