Most people find it hard work to achieve native-level fluency in just one foreign language, even when they're a full-time student of it, but characters in stories might speak thirty languages well enough to be mistaken for a native speaker in each. This character might learn the local language fluently just by chatting while playing cards each evening for a few weeks, or perhaps due to having taken evening classes for a month when they were twenty years younger, they are able to win debates on metaphysics in a particular language. At the very least, they read the Genius Book Club books in the original language, even if that language is a dead language.
