Is English your first language?

Yes, English is my first language and shamefully my only one....I tried French, but I was just terrible at it; I have no talent for learning other languages, unfortunately...wish I did. I commend all of you who know more than one!

No
Live in a small country which forces you to learn many language ( and i´m terrible at all of them)
hopefully this site will improve my skills

No, I'm from the south of India and Tamil is my mother-tongue. :)

romanian

I voted No, because, I'm French. So, French is my first language.. But, English is my second one ;)

mine is Filipino... But my second is English. In school we are required to speak in English.... Also, God knows how much I wanted to learn French... But I don't have time with my busy schedule in school...

Wow! I did not expect there to be so many ESL members here. I think that's really interesting! I feel it adds diversity to the boards and gives chance to meet people from different countries.

My native language is English.

no,my first language is Turkish.English is second one.but i'm studying in the department of english language and literature.and sometimes i speak English more than Turkish.
i like learning different languages*now i can speak deutsch and russian little*but God knows how much i want to learn spanish and japanesee as well:)

No
im Egyptian
so my be first language would be Arabic
but i may say my English is pretty fine (at least it allows me to enjoy reading literature without much suffering)

i do speak french little.. but determined to enhance it

Spanish would be the next language i hope to learn

English is my first language, but I'm learning French and Spanish at school. I love learning other languages :) - it feels so satisfying when I can actually understand what people are saying when they're not speaking English.

Arabic is my mother tongue and I'm just starting studying English literature and hoping to find time to learn Spanish.

No, English is my second language. My mother tongue is Portuguese.

I'm studying British literature to improve my English (and, of course, because it is an amazing literature as well). I'm also studying French and Latin. =)

My first language is chinese.

Nope-Babbled in Korean before English.
Interesting to note the vast diversity of ethnic groups here. Fantastic.

nope, Latvian and Russian. Yes both are my primary languages.

No,it's not;)
My first language is persian and I might say that i'm so happy about it cause otherwise this would be rather a dream to me as it's a beautiful language and one of the hardest to learn as the second language.
The other languages i really like to learn are French and Latin which looks so far at the moment

I vote for a yes, but then it could be a no, as I only speak English outside of my home and the rest of the time spent in the house is speaking in Mandarin. That, I guess, could be counted as bilingual but then there's a lot of terms in English that I probably would be better at if I speak purely English. :)

No. I'm from the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium so Dutch is my first language. French should be my second but my English is a lot better ^^;.

Truthfully, I do speak english back home..with friends & my sisters..but haha we tend to mix it with our own language..
I think there is a rise in those mix languages now..especially in Asia.. the singaporeans got singlish and i cn safely say that back home, it is also a mix of english and malay..

English is my first language. Though, I also tend to speak in bits of Spanish, French, and German depending where I am and who understands me.

Nop, it is not. I am Dutch, and so Dutch is my first language. English is the second. I also speak Swedish and French and a tiny bit of German

First language Albanian.Although I'm getting pretty used to English now and it's starting to come naturally.

Filipino, specifically Ilonggo...:D But to be honest, people say they like me speaking English better...:)

It was my second. I spoke the language of the bananas first.

Dw i'n siarad Cymreig, or Welsh to the rest of you.

Nope...

English is my first language. I can understand French, Spanish and Japanese moderately well, and I know a smattering of Iban and Malay.

macedonian. I dont think anyone knows where that is :yawnb:
and im learnig french now- just to brag

My first language is Romanian.
But I've been studying English since I was 7, so it's not much of a difference. Not on the net, anyway :P.
I can also speak Spanish, and a bit of Russian and French.

Russian is my mother tongue.

I might be English but it doesn't mean I can write it ;)

English is my first but i can speak spanish and want to learn french, german, russian, and latin.

:)

No, my first language is Tagalog...and now my second language is English..

Yes it is, english is my first language :)

Italian is my first language, but at university I study English, Russian and French...and I'm trying to learn Finnish by myself :D

My first language is French. I have learnt English at the University, and I know a little Italian and I am trying to learn German.:)

Czech is my first language. I can also speak, read and write in Slovakian (which is basically almost the same as Czech). And I am also able to say two senteces "This cat is dirty" and " I do not understand German" in German. And I have been learnirng English since I went to basic school.

No, it's not, but I speak it because I've been raised in a total literary environment where three generations of my family speak English in a distinct British accent:).

English is my first language ,although there is alot of technical stuff I don't know aboui it.
Like writing formal letters and termpapers, stuff like that.

My first language is Ukrainian. Second: Russian. Third: English :-)

I (like to) think that I am quite adept at conversing in English though. I may be wrong....I do have an accent, accents are not easy to get rid of.

I also made a half-hearted attempt to learn Spanish once. However, I gave up after the first few podcasts....too much work...
