What is your mother tongue ?

[Shinmeiryu]

Main language is English. Have no second language of as yet, though I learned some spanish.

 

[ElieDeLeuze]

I am a european mix. French for a big part, and the rest is germanic. I've lived in northern Europe for quite a long time, and I dislike very much living somewhere without speaking the local language. For me, it's been german, english, dutch, danish and norwegian. Sorry, but even if I had russian at school, I've been too busy with the other ones lately, I couldn't say much in russian now.

Pajalsta!

BTW, Ya nye panyemayu . . . what you wrote. Something about not very good English grammar. My Russian is extremely limited.

Spanish at home or when a friend need help (stundent exchange folks)
It was the first language I spoke as a baby, AND I said the F-word when I was 2......
I don't know why...

Because he was your [F]ather !

 

[silver angel]

AHA!!! it all makes sense Mr.Golgo!!!!

 

[Golgo_13]

And also because you were very very angry at him you called him the F word.

 

[silver angel]

I think it was at my family in general...not giving me yogurt....>_>;;

 

[Grandpa Frank]

And....

AND I said the F-word when I was 2......

It's been on your mind ever since!!

Привет Голго тринадцать
Рад тебя видеть. Как дела?

 

[DoctorP]

I speak primarily redneck! But I am told that my English is very good! I would have to say that my Japanese is about at a Kindergarden level, although many kindergardeners look at me like I am crazy when I speak to them! :? Must be my Japanese spoken with that slow southern drawl :hat:

I would just love to hear you speak Osaka-ben with your southern accent.

Alabama and S. Carolina did you say? Can't much more southern than that!

 

[MetalGear RAY]

Ma langue maternelle, c'est le Franﾃｧais, ﾃｩtant donnﾃｩ que je suis Quﾃｩbecois, et ma langue seconde est l'anglais. J'espﾃｨre que le Japonais deviendra ma troisiﾃｨme langue."












----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't panic, here's a translation:
"My mother tongue is French, since I'm from Quﾃｩbec and my second language is English. I hope Japanese will be my third."



Impressive how there aren't differences between "language" and "tongue" in French. :?
Langue = Language
Langue = Tongue

Strange...

 

[Hachiko]

You forgot Tagalog...ano ba yan, Maciamo?

 

[Suki-Yaki]

hmm

Whoa !! Everybody ride the multi-tongues wave !!
Gosh I've been surprized some of you have up to 4 tongues!

My tongue is only Arabic . maybe a little bit of English . I really wish I could have all the tongues in the world !! But if I could get to speak only Japanese , German and Italian , then I'm happy

 

[Philosoranter]

I speak English like I was born to, and Japanese at about a 1st-2nd grade level. I can read basic French and Spanish, but can't write or speak it.

My stepmother('s) tongue is Polish.

 

[AranzA]

Arabic is my native language.. I'm not that good in English, but I'm working on it. I used to study Turkish but I gave it up for some reasons.. mmmm,, I know little Japanese, Italian and Spanish.. Actually, I'm counting on my Mexican friend to teach me Spanish..

 

[tsukinoko]

My mothertounge is German and I would say I'm almost native level in English.
I used to be quite good in Russian, but I had to think hard to understand what was written earlier in this thread - though the Kyrillic was no problem!
My Japanese is still very poor, 'cause we used to speak English when I lived in Japan.
I know a bit of Spanish and Dutch.

Yeah, it's really impressing how many languages you people speak!!!
It makes you think differently, when you learn another language - the more the better, I think! ;-)

 

[kixot]

The strange thing about being english the most spoken language is that this site is in english so if someone doesn't get a word in english, why would she/he read this thread?

 

[Glenn]

Actually, Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language on the planet, by far.
