There are two languages: one as things seem to us and the other of knowledge.

I know what the structure of the language is.

I grew up speaking both languages, and for me that's really important.

I'm pretty good with languages.

Italian was my first foreign language. I speak it better than English.

French was my first language.

I was very adept at acquiring languages.

I had a quick ear and could pick up languages.

For my part, it was Greek to me.

I speak Farsi, German, Dari, and I understand Turkish, but I haven't used it since 1985, so I'm a bit rusty.
