Anyone else feel stupid around their immigrant friends.

Education 📚

Does anyone else here feel like they are dumb or were just lazy growing up when hanging out with friends or spouses from other countries.

For example I have 3 main friends that I usually hang out with all from different country's as well as my fiance, every single one of them is fluent in 2-3 languages and two of them can understand and speak on a basic level Atleast 7 languages.

Meanwhile I know English and extremely basic French, I don't even know any other Canadians that know more than one language other than my uncle who works in Mexico and Portugal.

Now I'm trying to learn Spanish because my finance is from Mexico and am having a hell of a time trying to learn even one other language.

Anyone else feel this way.
