You don't view yourself as smart? Why? Does it not take a high IQ to be able to learn those languages?
>>

You can be stupid in five languages. Just because you know how to speak doesn't mean you actually know anything about life itself.

It's a stupid thing to view yourself as a smart person for two reasons:
1. it opens up a vulnerability for others to challenge you and your aforementioned intelligence
2. makes you unlikeable and unrelateable.
It's probably smarter and wiser to not factor this into anything. Natural talent develops naturally.

Now what if someone else thinks you're smart because you know so many languages?
>>
>>34303737
That's on them. Leave it at that.
Just thank this person's compliment and move on

Alright

That depends if you are smart on top of knowing 5 languages.
It was common for slaves in the old era to speak many languages as they were used as translators.

I don't think so. Your income is a better measure of IQ.

kids working in tourist places know a lot of languages too you need to be smarter than that

So I would be smart if I was a professional footballer making millions each season?
>>
>>34303674
Yes, but no guarantee of success just frlm that. AI makes your skill less valuable.

It's a skill, at the very least.

Yep, just like sucking a golf ball through a garden hose.
