Really! Well, as long as you feel smart, that's the important thing. :D
Ooh, let's see, glad you asked, my day is just starting but so far I've driven away from a convenience store with a freshly bought half-gallon (that's xxx liters) of liquid on the roof of my car, only to observe it crash onto a public street in a virtual Peckinpah-esque slo-mo fatality.
:D
Right now I have 5 (that's wu3/cinco/quinque/ pente/ go) people writing to me at once, so I apologize for being unable to bring my full wit to bear at the present time! :D

Mm, that would be another complex explanation! Woo hoo! Mostly just by reading, memorizing, watching TV in those languages or being around people who speak those languages. Obviously over the course of several years. Give or take a few.

I know it may seem impressive, but, for me, at least, I've noticed that the more I've learned, the easier it has become to learn others. I don't know why. Maybe because memory gets exercised like a muscle or maybe I had a good memory to begin with.
But I learned very little in school, if that's your point. I was one of those people who could learn more and learn faster on my own than under the pressure of a time-serving hack public school teacher.
So! :D
My original tongue was Sumerian, but, after being released from a time-stasis field by British archaeologists, I quickly had to adapt to both their language and to the novel concept of afternoon tea.

6 of them, plus a few that aren't listed, so the other three are up there for compensation and because it makes me laugh every time a would-be Inca freak is trolling for a Quechua speaker, ha ha.. Plus I can largely understand certain languages that aren't even listed, and which I never studied, like Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Provencal, I guess because of their similarity to Spanish and Latin. Don't know. Plus bits and pieces of several others, like Chinese, German, etc. Russian I can read, but don't understand enough of it. And so on and so forth.
