And maybe two or more languages besides the broken English. I have always blown away by the ease for the languages of certain people or countries (eg. Poles, Romanians, Czechs, etc…), they need to have a set of skills fairly complete: memory, abstraction, good ear, phonetic… not everyone has those skills together or are accustomed to using them at once. Also, if you speak natively one of the top spoken languages today (Chinese, Spanish, English, Hindi…), it’s quite possible that simply you do not need to learn another language, so that these skills are not exercised and end atrophied.
So I agree with this quote (and its generalization to other languages).
