Sérgio
Ambassador of CaliZilian Affairs
I used to be quite fluent in all but French, but since I finished Law School all I did was work in Portuguese with little or no contact with these languages whatsoever, except for reading lots of English (oh, the internet) and watching movies without subtitles, but I never really have to speak.
The only times I used my language studies for something professional were when I studied in Argentina and an only case I got at the firm, a client had been involved in a car accident in L.A. and I had to deal with U.S. lawyers on the phone, but it was pretty cool, I had no problems getting the job done.
Anyway I'm glad I can at least speak, read and write some bad and shabby English, otherwise I wouldn't be able to interact with you guys.
