Well English isn't my first language and I'm still learning. I can speak Urdu and Saraiki quite fluently. I can understand Punjabi but can't speak it. I know a bit Pashto too but sadly enough, just a bit.
While English is my first language, I can speak a little bit of Spanish. I have studied some of the koine Greek of the Bible. I'm learning American Sign Language. But the one I am most proud of is the eloquent language of a three year old.

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
well, about me , from China, first language Chinese, Also speak some Japanese. studied English since 6, but seems never get the good part of it. Well, most time i studied languages just for exams and reading papers. kinda boring and geeky to be here ^ ^||,
anyway, nice to see u here~ love sci-fi novels and movies, in any language~
In my case, English was technically my first language, then I learned Fookien(?) and Mandarin Chinese, then Tagalog. I'm most fluent in English, then Tagalog (because I live in the Philippines), then Fookien (thanks to my parents), and lastly Mandarin (because my school wasn't that good in teaching Mandarin) :|
Yeah... so that's my story.
My first language is English but I live in Spain so Spanish is my primary-use language. However I also speak French and at home we often mix all three, sometimes in the same sentence, and often in the same conversation. I have a nodding acquaintance with Italian and can understand it if the speaker is Tuscan. Roman accent, not so much.
The very first language I spoke in was Spanish, but I learned both that and english at around the same time.
Spatz is the author of the statistics textbook on my bookshelf.
Dutch is my first language!
I speak Finnish, English and a (very) little Swedish, because I have to read it in school(grade was 6

My first language is Arabic. I speak English too because I love it, you could say that I taught myself to speak it ^_^ I can speak alittle French and intend to study it well after graduating ( that's two months away yay!).
If English really is your first language why don't you use a capital E for it?
Yes, English is my first language (I am from the United States -- right in the middle), and I also speak Esperanto pretty fluently. Why would anyone learn that kind of language? Don't ask me -- I don't --but I began to learn it in March 2009 and now can hold conversations in it. I will probably take up another language someday -- almost definitely a European language, probably from the Romance family. I have a friend who speaks Romanian -- but who speaks that? :P -- and, of course, Spanish is the most practical where I live (but if I cared about practicality, why did I learn Esperanto?)
Jes, la angla estas mia denasklingvo (mi loĝas en Usono -- precize en la mezo), kaj mi ankaŭ parolas esperante iom flue. Kial iu lernus tian lingvon? Ne demandu -- mi ne scias -- sed mi eklernis ĝin en marto 2009 kaj nun eblas konversi per ĝi. Mi verŝajne eklernos alian lingvon iutage -- preskaŭ certe eŭropan lingvon, verŝajne latidan lingvon. Mi havas amikinon kiu parloas romane -- sed kiu parloas tion? :P) -- kaj, kompreneble, la hispana estas la plej praktika por kie mi loĝas (sed se mi zorgus pri praktikeco, kial mi lernis Esperanton?)
My first language is Swedish but i speak some english!
