If you could learn another 2 languages instantly with no problems at all but forget how to speak in your native tongue, would you?

I love my native language (Modern Greek), especially it's grammar. It was so helpful and useful to a certain degree when I was at university studying chemistry, So no way, despite loving Spanish and French.

No, because my native tongue is English and I believe that English is the most useful language in the world so I would not swap it for any other languages. However, if I was from a certain area of the Philippines, my native tongue might be Cebuano. This isn't a very useful language, so I would definitely swap it, probably for English and either Spanish or Mandarin Chinese.

ummm that is a hard question.
I think i would because i will be able to learn my native tongue again..the languages that i would love to learn is italian and spanish from spain. ... this will be okay for me because my native tongue is filipino and if i were to learn the other two languages i would still know english just forget filipino....

Depends on my current job status.
If I was living in Europe (say, France) and would learn immediately French and another European language, I'd probably be willing to do it.
But if I was working in an English-speaking environment then no.

No, for sure, I'm well enough with two others foreigners languages I can already speak.

No. It took me at least 2 years to learn this one.

no, i would want to communicate with my loved ones like my family and friends. i would be so lonely if they couldn't understand me and i couldn't understand them.
