Well my parents are both native Spanish speakers and have a very bad command for English so I'm pretty sure spanish was my first language but forunately I picked up English very fast when I was in kindergarden and I speak both fluently. I think knowing more languages opens more opportunities so I think I'm forunate. Also I think the younger you are the easier it is to learn a language.
 
I was born in Germany so my german is perfect. My english is near perfect since I'm living here in the US since 11 years.
I tried to learn "latin" in school, but that was a waste of time ! My parents pushed me to do that, learn latin, they said, it'll help you, if you decide to become a doctor. too bad, i'll never studied medicine .... oh well...

a few years ago i tried to teach myself chinese that went well - not !
 
My mother tounge is german...but I don't like this language, even tough I'm really good in it. :joyful:
I think my second mother tounge is definitily english...overall I write english.=3
It's easier and I like this language, but I learn japanese, too. And when I've finished this, then my next ones are chinese and korean!^^
Ah and I forget that I learn also french (but I think it's the hardest language ever...O_O*)....
 

Man, try my mother tongue - it's probably one of the hardest !!!
 
My mother tongue is English. I'm taking German now, though, and I love the language and culture. I took two years of French and I definitely didn't do very well with that. In the future I hope to learn more languages, I always find it rather run to learn something about other countries.
 
My mother tongue is english. Even though I am welsh, I know almost no welsh, hehe, know more french and japanese than welsh.
 
I speak English, I know very little words from school in french and I really am trying to learn Japanese
 
French, is my mother tongue and learn English and German at school

Iam so bad in german....
 
My native language is Filipino, my second is English and I am learning Japanese.
 
wooow filipino must be hard☝
my mother tounge is spanish but i can talk in english too....but i prefer spanish
 
My mother tongue is italian, and I've studied english, french, german at school, and now I'm studying japanese...unfortunately I've almost forgotten both french and german!!!
all my free time is devoted to japanese, but I wish I could have more time also for improving my english and brush up the other languages!
bye
 
I speak English. D:

I've never been good in any language. ; ____ ;

But I'd love to learn Korean...or maybe French. xD

I envy people who can speak different languages.
But envy is bad...So...You didn't see anything! >.<
 
I can speak English and some Spanish, which is sad because it is only some I am currently trying to learn Japanese.
 
Mother tongue's English but I know quite alot of languages: French,Dutch,Hindi/Urdu,Panjabi,Patohari,Nepali,Arabic, some German, and could speak Russian fluently as a kid but forgot it due to lack of practise
Trying to learn Japanese and Portugese not doing too well
Flai- i'd love to learn Korean too aswell as Tamil,Malay,Chinese,Sanskrit or other languages of Asia or Europe.
Apparently the easiest language to learn if your mother tongues English is Afrikaans. I find that it's easier to learn a language that's part of the same language family as ones you already know
 
My primary language is Finnish, and I'm proud to be a native speaker of such difficult language.
 
well, i think my first language should be mandarin, just becoz i'm a chinese. but because i live in singapore, i'm speakin both eng and mandarin. however, not veri fluent in both language.juz been mixin e 2 tgt when i speak. XP
 
I guess my mother tongue is greek.I also speak english and learning(not speaking yet)french.
 
My mother tongue is Mongolian. I speak fluent Russian and English as well as elementary Japanese.
 
my mother toung is sloven. but i speak english pretty well. speak, not write^^

Woo, that's awesome :O
I can speak fluent English and Finnish, but I know some Japanese, German and Swedish also.
 
My native language is English. I can also speak spanish and I know maybe 2 or 3 words in Japanese and Korean.:?
 
I grew up hearing English, French and Spanish everyday. Both my parents speak English, but my dad and his family also speak French, or really rather a sort of indiginous French, I guess. My mom, most of her friends, and many of my friends speak Spanish. So I'd that's why those are my mother tongues.
Though its probably more like a sort of FrancoPerce-Spanglish.
