[Magenta]

If I may, how did you learn each of these? What process or method?

Choir. I just picked up a lot of phrases and words. I can't say that I can speak any of them and my grammar would be atrocious but if I see something written in Spanish, Italian, French, Latin, German, etc, I can usually get the gist of it by using context clues.

(Okay, French only sorta counts there 'cause I actually can speak it but same idea.)

I've performed pieces in about ten different languages at last count so you just start seeing patterns and recognizing words after awhile.

[dizeny]

I just speak English and German.

Interesting that you speak English better. All of my family except my little brother and I speak Dutch. I am a citizen of the Netherlands, but only lived there a few months when I was a little kid. This summer, my brother and I are going to visit my grandparents in Amsterdam for 3 weeks, and they only speak a little English. That should be interesting.

[Jean Poutine]

I forgot my mandatory French, tbh I hated taking French as most Canadians do.
