Lessons in Microbiology, Part III

It's the end of microbiology lab, and my professor is turned away from me, sitting on a chair in front of a computer. He's looking through scientific research articles for something on the link between intestinal microbes and obesity.

"So, you understand Italian and Portuguese?" I ask.

He turns around. "Yes."

I'm a little impressed. He does have near-perfect English. Sometimes he switches his "this" and "these" and simple errors like that. I'm always amazed when people can speak multiple languages because I can barely deal with English.
