Other than English, I speak both French and Hebrew extremely fluently. This meaning that I can read novels, write academic papers and hold long conversations in the aforementioned languages.
I learned French because I was born in Quebec and it's kind of a necessity to know to be able to do anything there from ordering food to ordering cable to getting a job.
I learned Hebrew because I'm Jewish and went to religious Jewish school from the age of 3-18.
As for languages I would like to learn, I feel like my job would be easier if I learned Spanish, as we do have patients who only speak it, but I know enough broken Spanish to get by. I would love to learn Japanese or Italian for funsies though.
