You have to be extremely brilliant to do skmething like that. Right?
No. I know plenty of people who can speak 5 languages. I wouldn't call them especially brilliant. Most grew up with parents both speaking their own (different) languages and jobs that took the family to other countries.
Also my neighbours (Greek + English) have a barely-functional autistic son who speaks both languages fluently.

Fair enough. People have their talents and clearly knowing multiple languages doesn’t denote a capacity of intellect
