I personally speak three. Though thinking about learning a fourth.

1. You don't need to know both write it and speak it, just one works fine.
2. Sign language counts as well.
3. Speak it = Able to communicate with it on a daily use.
4. Alien = 6 +
5. God = Able to either read lips or facial expressions with no difficulties.

I am not a perfectionist but I am never happy with anything I produce or pursue. If I write something I think it is terrible and destroy it sometimes even 30~40 thousand words in. If I begin learning a language I think I'm wasting my time and stop or that I am not learning it fast enough and stop even though there is no hurry. When I draw no matter how well I am doing I pretty much kill it halfway through scribbling it out. I am just never happy with what I produce.

The most frustrating part is actually the starting over repeatedly. It is like a child knocking down his sand castle then rebuilding it with a slightly different design then knocking it down again and doing it over and over but to no avail. It's the one aspect of myself I honestly cannot stand because it wastes so much time.

Anyone else do that?

To be fair I am not looking for advice, just confirmation, and expressing a current frustration because my imaginary therapist I cannot afford said it was a good idea.

Do you think tattoos in a different language are nice or would rather someone with one in English. I see many people dislike Chinese letters on people. I'm thinking getting one in French a language I've been learning since I started school. So would you rather a guy with one in a foreign language or one that you could read without having to ask.
