It's definitely possible, though it's also easier depending on where you live..

I'm fluent in French, German, English and Luxembourgish, and I'm learning Filipino (Tagalog) since I will emigrate there soon. I also plan to take on Japanese at a later date. Additionally, I speak some dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, but nowhere near enough to be fluent in those languages.

Children from immigrant families generally have the possibility to become fluent in 5 languages here in Luxembourg since the four I'm fluent in are all taught there since our equivalent of grade school (except English, which comes a bit later on). Those who follow a classical education here additionally have the choices of Spanish, Latin and/or Greek, which means they will be fluent in at least 5 languages before going to an university (classical education doesn't prepare you for any job, which is why I choose the technical education route instead).

How well would you say that you speak English, French, German and Luxembourgish? Do you speak at a near-native level in all 4?
