Is English your first language?

Precisely,my mother tongue is my first language,and currently I intended to upgrade my English by all means!

I speak Chinese.
Though I have been learning English for 12 years, it is a little difficult to read English poetry.

My mothertongue and first language is Italian, and I have just signed in this forum to improve my English!
You know, I have been studying English at school as foreign language for twelve years, but everybody knows that you don't become fluent with a foreign language until you don't listen, speak read and write it everyday.
By now, I am trying to read and write it, waiting to spend abroad some of my next years of university...
Sorry for grammar, vocabulary or spelling mistakes! If anyone wants to correct me, I will thank him/her! ;)

No. I am a Filipino so basically, Filipino is my first language...

Mine's Filipino. :)

My first language is French and I'm currently learning German and Spanish aswell as perfecting my English. Eventually I intend to learn Japanese and Italian.

Yes, I have quite an interest in languages. If someone is interested in helping me with my German or Spanish every now and then, feel free to send me a P.M. In exchange I could help you with your French.

The significance of English is vital and is learnt by humanity around the world.No one can survive devoid of communicating,no matter if your English is poor or laudable,it doesn't affect much.If people use abbreviations,improper usage,it is their disposition,they use it for swift and gobbledygook way.If another person uses fluent language,he would be touted or other gleeful transpiration,sometimes be lionized.

:yawnb: Well...Mandarin.

I am from tamilnadu, but English has become my professional language.

English isn't my 1st language :)

English is mine, and I still manage to screw up all the time. And I can't ever remember if "toward" or "towards" is correct. I think one might be proper in the UK or something, but I'm American, so we might do it differently.:confused:

I've seen both in books of both countries; have looked up a rule and haven't found any... I prefer "towards" myself, finding the [s] more elegant (don't ask me why!).

My first language is French.

well, mine is greek but i had been studying french for about 5 or 6 years, though i remember very few things. hopefully, i study english literature at the university so i have an almost daily interaction with the language. my skills need further improvement though!

No,i speak arabic and now iam studiyng english at university

No,mine is Arabic :)
