I envy your grandfather. My grandfather was [because he's dead] fluent in spanish, portuguese, french, german, italian, and of course english.

That's cool, because he was swiss as well as my dad, and in the Switzerland, every school teaches german, italian, and french, then if you wish to get a decent job, you need to know english, therefore if you're swiss you must to be polyglot.
Here in Brazil, you don't even need to study, if you're charismatic it's enough to become president.
