How attractive is a man who speaks more than one language?

I speak fluent French, English, and Spanish, with a good knowledge of basic Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese. (I can understand the latter 3 more than I can talk, but I'm still OK at them).

I have absolutely no English accent when I speak Spanish or French.

That is an oxymoron :smile:

It depends what the languages are. French is very common. I personally speak 2 languages at the level of an average native speaker and know a couple of others at conversational but let's face it - it's either C1 or you can't really count it.

End of August please, don't think I could stand the full strength of summer's sun. End of August will be cooler, in both senses of the term.

It doesn't sound right, 'good knowledge of the basic' you have written previously.
If you're handsome and accomplished it will add to your backstory as a person, it won't actually make you hot though.
Girls just care about looks

In the scheme of things expect there are a lot of other importnat factors including looks and personality that are more significant and rank much higher than the ability to speak a number of languages. Its a plus ofc, but dont oversell it.

Knowledge and intelligence is attractive so definitely an asset. This said its still your looks and personality that will be needed to score initially. Guess it opens up the possibility to chat up some babes in their native language too.

Significa una chica bonita.
I don't really see the point in learning other languages. I mean, Mandarin and Spanish are pretty useful to learn, but other than that, I don't see the point in learning languages like Italian, Dutch, or German, unless you're going to live in those countries or became a professional translator.

Well languages open doors to job opportunities, don't they? Especially in headhunting.

Languages also help with travelling.

No offence, but claiming there's no point to learning languages is rather ignorant.

It's not ignorant, it's just my personal opinion. If I wanted to work in China, or Latin America, or any other foreign country then I would learn the local language. But, most people don't need to learn other languages for work, particularly if they work in a country like the UK.
Well I know 5 languages and can read a different language but I'd say I'm a solid 3 on a good day :smile:
