I think this is less of an age thing and more of a personality thing . I know plenty of people who would rather do this but generally the ones who make a lot of plans and invite people out to these things prefer a club . Also I think it depends on your parents a lot . I spent years in Old Man Pubs before I could even drink so I ' m used to them . Whereas a lot of people think they look dodgy or whatever . I don ' t know though Im just guessing . <| sep |> I expect not to die instantly from 2 abilities , I dont know about you <| sep |> Spot on . I have no idea where they get this data from , but it ' s certainly not based on the language offer in compulsory education since most EU countries offer at least 2 foreign languages during primary andor secondary school . And I can confirm that in Flanders at least , we have to learn French , English and in most cases German . So by that logic , most Belgians would speak 4 languages but so would the Dutch or the Swedish . And what other criteria do they have to base these maps on ? I only know of very few standardized language tests i . e . TOEFL but since they ' re not mandatory or even encouraged , this data would be severely incomplete . Otherwise one can only guess how they measure languages spoken . I mean , hell , I ' ve really dedicated a lot of time to languages and will still only claim I ' m fluent in 2 languages . I can read six additional languages fluently , but I can barely form a couple of coherent sentences in said languages when speaking them .
