I speak Afrikaans mainly, but can speak English fluently. Learned a small amount of Sepedi and French at scgool and a small amount of Japanese from anime and the web

English is my mother tongue,but I also speak Afrikaans.In South Africa there are 11 official languages,but I only speak these two.

HALLLLLLOOOOO! Ek is wit doof, en my eerste skryf-taal is Afrikaans. My tweede is Engels, en lees om met Duitse taal te oefen.

Ek woon in Engeland. Ek verlang baie vir Suid-Afrika!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
 
speak

I speak English, since that happens to be my first language, although I do know some German, not near fluent in that, but hey, I'll be taking German for another three years. I'll soon be learning Japanese along with German.
 
My mother tongue is Bengali, but I grew up speaking more English. Presently I,m learning Japanese.
 
my mother tongue is Romanian, but I can speak English and Italian too. I also started to learn Japanese, but I'm still a beginner....

Languishing Languages

My mother tongue is English.
I can speak Japanese.

I studied French, Spanish & even Esperanto to varying degrees, but can't really communicate much expect the very basics....

I started with Chinese, but now, my English is better. I am now attempting to learn Japanese and Taiwanese. ( I can only understand, can't speak -.-;)
 
English is my native language. Almost fluent in Spanish (after years of classes, living in a country that speaks it is the best way to really learn)
 
My mother tongue is Arabic , now I learn English and I hope to learn Japanese someday .


:)

I can speak English rather well (I should hope so, being my native language!) and German to a reasonable level. My French is a little patchy after years of non-use and I am just getting to grips with Japanese...
 
Finnish - native
English - near native


Other languages I can get along in

Japanese
Swedish


And starting to learn

German
 
I would say that I speak english as a native language, but thats not quite right. I speak SOUTHERN. I dont necessarily have a southern accent, but a lot of the words and phrases we use here would leave even some native english speakers dumbfounded.
More seriously, besides english I know a reasonable amount of japanese. Although I wouldn't consider myself fluent.
 
Although I live in London I am actually a native German speaker. :)
