right now 4, I used to claim french I used to understand 90% of a conversation and used function regularly in the city but too long away from it and away from practice i can't even watch a movie anymore without being lost, so i lost that one

the same started happening with italian but i had much more dominion of the italian language and i love it more, right now if an italian came to me and started talking I would be able to understand his point, it'd take some pauses to answer him back and converse, it's all about surrounding my mind in it for a while and i'm good to go, last time i was in italy was end of '09

portuguese, spanish and english 100% fluent

it's all one spanish, but it varies A LOT in accent and speech to the point that you could get confuse if you are from elsewhere

for example just colombia alone have different styles, if a costeo from the atlantic coast of colombia spoke to durito which he is in the central part of the country, durito would not understand lots of words

durito who is now fluent in spanish said a couple of days ago that the spanish of argentina sounds like another languge to him, someone from santiago chile will speak very differently from someone from monterey mexico

heck even close neighbors like the dominicans and puerto ricans speak differently

brazil is like what i described above in spanish but in portuguese, the country is so huge that people from the northeast speak differently from the cariocas (rio people), and they speak different from the paulistas (sao paulo people), and they speak different from the gauchos (south people), and a couple of more regions, brazil is huge and is almost like a continent on their own

their are three countries in the top of south america between venezuela and brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana where they speak English, Dutch, and French respectively.

Muddy have you ever smashed something to smithereens?

I'm sure I have, although I can't remember a specific incident.

I used to have quite a temper. As a child I used to get furious with god. Like why did he make the tennis ball I was hitting off the school wall hit that pebble so it bounced wrong and I missed it and now I have to go chase it?

I would curse out god.

I guarantee I smashed some things to smithereens.
