Student Linquistic abilities

I am analyzing the interview data I collected from students for my PhD dissertation. Many of these students are amazing, especially in their linguistic abilities.

I'll let this excerpt from the transcript of one interview with a female student speak for itself. The student's name below is a pseudonym.
  • Paul: Okay. Uhm how many languages do you speak?
  • Mary: Four.
  • Paul: What are they?
  • Mary: Portuguese, Japanese, English and Spanish.
  • Paul: Wow!
  • Mary: Hmm.
  • Paul: That’s pretty impressive.
  • Mary: No, I wish I could be fluent in all of them. English and Spanish are the most challenging.
​
​I should add that the student's English during two long interviews was flawless.
