My mother tongue is Spanish but I also can speak in English and right now I´m learning French. ^^
 
Both English ans Spanish are my "mother tongues" and I study at a French school.. that would make me fluent, right?
 
Well, since I am german, I speak my language of course, but english is also pretty fluent, and my french is fairly good, but bettter in France under red wine, hehe.
I do understand quite some italian and spanish, but would not consider myself to speak it.
Then I can survive in China with my chinese, thats better again, even if nothing but basic.(My, are they talkative! But that helps!)
Japanese is a problem, but I can understand more and more, but before I have a reasonable sentence together, the situation has already changed. So, I keep on learning. . .

My mother tongue is Hindi

My mother tongue is Hindi but I can speak English, oriya, japanese, Bengali and Marathi.
 
Well, I'm French, so 1st language is French.
English is ok too and I'm learning japanese.
 
For me "mother tongue"would be both French and Cantonese, and i can speak English as well, now i'm learning Japanese
 
My mother tongue is arabic. But I have been living in Finland for 17 years so I consider myself a native speaker and my english is fluent. I also studied german for 7 years, but I dont remember much of it, because I hardly use it. I've also studied swedish and french. And now japanese
 
i can speak both english and bahasa and a bit of japanese..
and sometimes i speak in java..

but my bahasa grades are not as good as english..
 
n . n U ) my mother lenguage is spanish!!
I have been learning english for... 9 years and I am not good at it x _ x )!!! My brain just cannot process it u . u
anyway~
I'm learning french and althought I can understand large things such a (or is like...?) newspapers articles, that's just because french is, in some ways, similar to spanish and english. The reality is that I have been studing french for 5 months and I'm just prepared to say and write simple things as "this is my family, my father is called blah blah and he has blah blah years old".
And about japanese... duh... I know a few words...
 
My mother tongue is Hokkien, a Chinese dialect. I speak Hokkien, English, Bahasa Malaysia. a little Mandarin and Japanese.
 
watashi wa arabia-go speak desu ( i like mixing japanese and other languages..it sounds funny )
 
My mother tongue is English. Japanese is my second language (not fluent, getting there), and my "side" language is Korean.
 
English! Though, I wish It was Japanese. I am totally in love with the language. (The way it sounds...) Let me hear to holler if you wish your mom's tongue was Japanese!
 
Why did I forget German

Hi,

my mother tongue is French. Then, I learned English for ten years before speaking it decently. I started japanese 9 years ago, and still cannot write it fluently (speaking is OK though). I know enough German to order saussages, and Italian to go to a soccer game.

I believe languages is not my strong point.
 
mother language? hmmm...that would be the filipino language...but i think im very good with the english language as well..i can write, speak and read english as well as i do the filipino language...

im sorry but..im new here. i hope someone here can tell me if there is such a thread in this forum where i can ask for english translation of some japanese sentences. you see, somebody wrote me a letter and it's in japanese but not in kanji...i can understand some words but not all of it...i hope someone here can help me...arigatou gozaimasu!

Well my first language was
Spanish (father=Mexican, mother=Salvadoran)
But i learned English once i started Kindergarten.
Im fluent in both but i have a little trouble reading
and writing in spanish

I'm trying to learn Japanese right now
 
My mother tongue is Swedish! ^__^ But I use English almost as good as Swedish so I'd say that's like my second mother tongue!
I'm learning Japanese but I'm nowhere near good at it yet xD Getting there tho! Nice to meet you all ^_^

exercise me , what does "side language" mean??
Click to expand...

"side language" in that case just meant "hobby"

So Korean is my hobby language, I study it when I can but there's no pressure to become fluent any time soon.
 
Hi there,
I live in Austria for a couple of years, but my mother-tounge is Czech.
We're also speaking Czech at home and I've still lots of conatcts in Czech Rep. there, so I don't have to worry forgetting my native-lenguage^^

I also have a little question: why isn't the 'flag-symbol-thingie' showing up in my posts?
