My native language is the Eastern Great Lakes dialect of American type English. I know several people who speak other languages, of course. A number of them speak Welsh, a few French and one speaks Russian on a fairly regular basis. Personally, I know a smattering of French and Spanish (the latter from living in an area with a fairly high Hispanic population) and I've studied Klingon, but would love to learn more.

Mine is English and that's the only one that I know. I'd like to know Spanish so that I could understand the conversations that my wife sometimes has with people who only speak that language. I don't plan on learning it soon.

My native language is Spanish. I have been educated in English. I took 3 years of French. I learned a little bit of Italian, but I was assaulted on my way back from the magnet school where I was taking Italian, so I never went back. I studied a little bit of hebrew, (ani iodea, abba ve imma, shiur reshon). I would like to learn Italian.

My native language is Australian English. I am fluent in French and Australian Sign Language.

My native language is American English. I don't know words like lorry, fortnight, or trifle. I work as an English teacher/professor and the country where I live as an expatriate wants its high school students to be speaking fluent American English by the class of 2010 (even though the government published textbook is in British English). As a child, I learned Mexican (border) Spanish, so I could play with the other kids. I was the president of the Spanish club at my high school. Because I have lived in other parts of the world I have acquired (temporary) working knowledges of German, Bahasa Indonesia, Russian, and Arabic. I can read those languages, but I need a dictionary to do anything with them. I live in Vietnam which has a very complicated language of one syllable words and nine tones. A man says "I love you" differently from a woman. It's a difficult tongue.

Brooklyneese lmao. No just kidding I was born and raised in the United States so I would guess my native language is English. I know just a little bit of Spanish and Italian not enough to hold a conversation with someone though. I know a couple of words in German Russian french and Cantoneese (it's a dialect of chineese)

My native language is English, as I'm from the United States. I speak fluent Spanish, by living in Venezuela, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Spanish and using it on almost a daily basis in my job for over 5 years. Having lived in France, I speak some French, but I do not consider myself fluent, and I don't use it often enough to stay in practice. I can understand some Dutch (at one point I understood a lot of it.), but only speak a few phrases. I would like to learn Italian, but have no immediate plans to do so. I can read a lot of Italian and Portuguese by virtue of my knowledge in Spanish and French, but I do not speak them.

I speak American English. Rhode Islandese to be exact. There have been books printed to help others interpret what we are saying! I took French for a few years in school - I love this language and would love to become fluent in it. If I ever have the time, I would love to learn French, then Spanish.
