Poll: Is English your first or second language?

[darth.pixie]

My third. Fourth if I count Spanish, though I haven't spoken it in a while.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

The bastardised form of English known as Strine is my first language.


I've only ever known linguistic jealousy once... Kid I knew in High School spoke 5 languages by the age of 16 - Czech, German, Polish, Russian and English.

I really want to be fluent in another language. I suppose I'd prefer Japanese at this point so I don't need subs for anime xD

 

[EpicFightingTroper]

Even though I was born in a country that prides itself on bilingualism, I can only speak the language of the Redcoats and Yankees.

...

English, if vocabulary isn't your strong point.

English is the third language I learned, but also my second best language.

blop

Spanish is [...] far more complicated than English at least [...]

that's true, since english must be one of the easiest language out there ^^
it's so easy, compared to german (my native... many people i know who speak german as their second say it's a real b***h, and looking at all the germans who cannot speak it properly themselves, i guess it really is), and french, and latin (very orderly - awesome ^^), and from what i've heard italian and spanish too

please don't get me wrong; i like english very very much (as do all germans for some reason yet unknown; thus we have more and more advertisements and products and services with english names/in english... now how stupid is that, not using your country's language??), it's a great language (sounds very nice, polite, even when cursing ^^)!

English is third I believe, I learned Gujrati and Sanskrit first and a little Bemba and Nianja. I also know some Arabic, Persian, and Swahili.

EDIT: cool, 500th post!

Both? I live in Norway, i speak Norwegian most of the time and i understand virtually all of its dialects (we have a huge variety). but i am better at expressing myself in English. My English vocabulary is much larger than my Norwegian vocabulary. I even think in English. I guess English is my first language but Norwegian is my mother tongue?

 

[DYin01]

English is my second language. My first language is Dutch. It's the language they speak in that tiny blip on the edge of Europe. It's also unnecesarilly complicated, in that I actually think English is an easier language to write and speak.

 

[Who Dares Wins]

English is my second. Croatian is my first

Woot, someone from Balkan (I guess), I though I was alone.

OT: English is my second language, and I know Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian... which is the same actually...

 

[s0denone]

English would technically be my fifth(?) language.
I speak Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German, English and Spanish.

If we count out Norwegian and Swedish, it would be my third language.

 

[MercurySteam]

First, and I must say I'm damn good at it too.

 

[Joel Soh]

It's my first. Australian here!
