Swedish!
But I'm also a decent English-speaker, and I'm trying to learn Japanese at the moment. :)
 
My mother tongue is German. And I learned French in school, but I forgot everything. And I also learned English in school... I think I can understand it without problems, but it's difficulty for me to say something. So this forum could be a good exercise place. ;)

It must be very difficult to learn French because I talked with some people on this forum who studied French in the past and they lost most of all and they stopped learning French because it was too hard for them.

The best way to learn French is to talk with French people and to practise and practise a lot. If you can't keep talking, you will loose French faster than the time you spent to learn it.
 
I'm supposed to be natively, a Creole speaker but never actually learned much about it(though I can speak a little). So my native language is English.

I speak portuguese (native), english and spanish fluently. Wil learn Japanese and mandarin at the Univ.
 
Yay I'm a dumb American that can only speak one language fluently! Luckily I am moving to Japan where I can master my insane Japanese that my Japanese friends laugh at----. Oh well, I have speaking down pretty well but writing is soooo difficult why the hell did the crazy Chinese invent so many damn characters 0.- and why did the Japanese steal them?? =(

Mother tongue: Afrikaans. It's like Dutch, just simplified.
Main language: English. Use it for everything so it better be ok-ish. :-)
