What is your mother tongue ?

[Crimson Star]

French and English, I'm almost native to Japanese but it is still difficult for me to follow conversations sometimes.

 

[Sylvain]

French is my first language, but I grew up in Montreal so I've learned English quite naturally. Now I'm trying to learn Japanese, which is not easy but really interesting.

 

[DHK]

My native language is Hebrew, as I live in Israel. I speak a little Arabic - I learnt it at school, but I think my Japanese is becoming better than my Arabic now. In English, I can write and read perfectly well, but I soemtimes have trouble understanding spoken English. Perhaps it's because I almost never get to speak or hear English in everday life.

 

[LilKewtyChic]

I speak english and spanish but i learned spanish first...Right now I am trying to learn Japanese and Mandarin chinese =)

 

[Keoland]

My mother tongue is Portuguese, though I reckon my English isn't all that bad either...

I can also speak French and Spanish quite easily, though not exactly at native levels, and I have a mild dominance of German and Italian, enough to understand what's being said and mantain a non-philosophical/technical conversation.

I only have a basic level of Nihongo (enough to get my bearings ), but not enough to discuss anything remotely complex... I hope to change that in the future.

 

[BeNe]

ps: you forgot latin

Hola, newbie here! (haha, not the place I know, feel lazy to go to member's intro)

Anyway, hmm.. first language is English, although am a Chinese. I speak Cantonese as well, but not much. My whole family speaks good Cantonese except me. Am what Chinese people will call a 'banana'. You know, yellow on the outside, and white inside, which means, chinese outside, but caucasian inside, hahah. I also know Malay and a spatter of Mandarin. I used to know a bit of Tamil as well. It's a big pot of language in Malaysia...

Will learn Mandarin and French after I learn Japanese. Not good at languages, but hey, cant say I didn't try...

 

[rose_of_eternity]

Fluent in Ukrainian, Russian and English. Took 3 years of French, so I know some of that, and recently picked up Japanese... Yush, 5 languages, so pwnful

Siyempre Pilipino. At saka Ingles. Ilan sa mga salitang Pilipino ay hango sa Kastila. Pero, hindi pa rin ako marunong mag-Kastila.
(Of course, Filipino. And English. Some of the Filipino words came from Spanish.Although I don't know how to speak Spanish still)

 

[Neon Heart]

My mother tongue is English. I do know a little bit of Japanese, and Spanish, though!

 

[jessiex2005jp]

Australian and Japanese!

Unless of of course we are being politically correct, and then I would say English and Japanese... I am new so I would like to quickly say hi to everyone and yoroshiku!

 

[lexico]

Hey ! That's cheating, Jessiex2005PC !
Welcome aboard, friend, but do you know what happens if you don't introduce yourself properly ?
Eternal fire.... j/k.
If you introduce yourself in the member's intro subforum, you will get many replies. But here, there's a high chance you might not.
I tagged along somebody else's, and barely anyone recognised me ...
Come on, don't be shy ! Make that big jump today !

 

[Kara_Nari]

Well, I guess I will welcome her too, but maybe she has disappeared.

My languages (Why didnt I answer this one??)

In order of proficiency:

1: English
2: Korean
3: Japanese
4: Maori
5: Mixture of German, Thai, Mandarin, Khmer, Spanish (All of these are at a super poor level, just want it to look good )

 

[emmakimura]

I speak Filipino (which is basically improvised Tagalog), English and some Japanese. But I wish I could still learn more... maybe I'll learn Italian or Spanish next time.

I tried French once but the I had a very hard time pronouncing them. There's just too many nasals and other sounds that is not native to my language. ﾅｽc窶抂ﾂ、I actually find it very classy.

 

[Takakoo]

Let's see...

I speak fluent English, have studied Japanese for 3½ years (Enough to do the JLPT to level 4.)
I know some basic Mäori phrases and a few simple structures in Spanish.

I'd also like to learn Arabic as I have some relatives who have moved to Arabia.

 

[ﾂｰKiritoﾂｰ]

Italian of course...then english, french, spanish and a little bit (veeeeery little bit) of japanese ^^''... but i'd like to learn more foreign languages.

 

[monrepo]

I speak greek.

 

[Ting]

Hello. I'm pure chinese from Singapore. I can speak fluent English, Chinese and some dialects like Teochew and Hokkien. Hope to make friends with japanese and learn some basic japanese language.

 

[Tokyo-K1]

My mother tongue is Chinese (to be exact Cantonese) but I'm also equally as fluent (if not more) fluent in English. I guess you could say I have two "native" languages! Hehe

 

[Vivi Sparrow]

My native tongue is Hebrew, English is my second language and I speak it quite well. ^^"

 

[bluubear]

I've spent the first half of my life speaking Chinese, the second half (so far) speaking English... they are probably about the same. And hopefully my third language will be Japanese ^^

 

[FAM]

My mother language is Bulgarian. I also speak English.
I want to learn Italian or Spanish.

 

[ShayLee]

Mother tongue is Slovenian, of course

Second language is english. Then I speak some "deutsch" - german and latin (which I really want to improve *cry*).
