Yah, why Maciamo?

I speak both English and Tagalog thanks to our education system. I can also speak a dialect which is also widely spoken in my country. When I was younger, say 'bout 9, I taught myself a little Spanish through textbooks but finding no one to guide me I lost what I learned somehow... *sighs* This time around I'm still trying to find the time to continue studying Japanese language.
 
Hmmm, there's a german forum but there are only 7 German speaking, time for a Dutch forum

Why not also a Chinese forum? Or an Arabic forum? We've had several Arabic members join recently...
 
I'm Japanese, and speak Japanese.
Need to learn English better...
 
My first language is Polish, but I moved out of Poland when I was 12 so now my English is better than my Polish. I also got grades A for German and French but that's pretty useless. I had no one to practice it with so I forgot most of it. My Japanese is at begginner level.
 
russian oficially, but ive become mediocore at it after being absent for 7 years. someone shouldsimplify the language, its way too difficult.
although i speak english better i couldn't call it my mothertongue.
 
The first language I spoke was Japanese, but now my English is a lot better than my Japanese, even though I was born in Japan, I look Japanese, and I live in Japan.

So I would say that English is my native language. Though I can speak Japanese, I cannot write in Japanese very well.
 
English...

Well, the only language I'm fluent in is English, unfortunately.

(though I do know a few words in some other languages)

I am looking forward to learning Nihongo, but it is especially difficult to learn a second language if U.S. english is your first.
 
My native tongue is Spanish, speaking fluently
I also know some English but still needs some improvements
I'm also taking Japanese Classes but I still have a looooonng way to go !
 
I learned Spanish before English, but my English now surpasses my Spanish. (See? I used a big word! )
 
Unfortunately, my mother tongue is Japanese only...
I wish I had more mother tongues..
When I get into a university, I will choose to learn Germany.
I hear Germany language is one of the most difficult language to learn.
 
First swedish, then english. My japanese is lacking, only know a few words and phrases picked up from anime and such.



The asian language I would like to learn stands between japanese or chinese/mandarin. Other than that, I have for long had in mind getting to learn icelandic, which hopefully wouldn't be too hard.

Watching an icelandic movie with english subtitles is the most confusing I have ever done, BTW.

 
My mother spoke fluent Gaelic.
 
Well, my main language is supposedly English, but it sometimes lapses in Jerry Lewis gibberish - "Hi how are you? I am frueng gaa blechhh, fahva" and the like. ermmmm yeah. :? But I've also just started learning Japanese at a local community college. Hopefully I'll be better with that.
 
Portuguese and English. My English is without accent, lol.
 
My native language is German. I used to speak it very well when I was younger, but living in Canada one has little use for any language other than English. So, over time, I forgot it. I would like to re-learn German one day, but I think learning Japanese would be my main interest at this time.
 
Kind of a typical American who speaks mainly english...
Although I'm fluent in Hawaiian "Pidgin". Which is a mix of Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Filipino, Puerto Rican, English, and Dutch (I may have missed a couple) all having their native tongues rolled up into a form of english. (It won't make sense until you visit here)

And I know enough Hawaiian to at least fool the tourist.
 
I'm a native Portuguese and I speak English fluently. Sometimes when I drink too much, I can even speak English with a Punjabi accent (goodness gracious me!).
I also know enough French and Spanish. Enough to get some tourists losts in the woods, that is.

 
my native language is Spanish, but I am fluent in English and am now learning German...I wanna learn Japanese though...
 
My mother tongue is THAI. Hope one day it makes it to the poll as a choice!
 
mother tongue is Japanese and English is my second language.
I'm hoping to learn French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Korean.

(huh...I wonder how long it will take...)
 
English natively and a bit of French. However my French is poor in comparision to other students.
