Originally Russian because i was born there. Ah the Soviet Union. You gave me the gift of crushing poverty so me and my mom left. Then i moved to Germany and had to master that one too but the language of my hear (and cyberspace at large) is English. Popper japanese should be next when i have finally finished all my academic nonsense for my job as a librarian in a few years. I even had Latin (and two years of French) at school and Latin was hell. Thank god i managed to forget everything...

Edit: @Chongen I sometimes have the English word in me when i want to say something too.

I also read EU/US comics and am a librarian.

I'm from Sweden and my native language is swedish. Even though I'm born in Finland I don't know any finnish at all. As for when I started to learn english I'm not sure tbh... If we would mention when I first came in contact with english it would probably have been at the age of 4-5 or something and I started learning english at the age of 7. Skipped a few classes so, otherwise I would not start to learn english until I was at the age of 8 or 9. And since the age of 11, I think, I've been rather fluent in english. Now at the age of 25 I sometimes find myself saying stuff in english because I couldn't find the word in swedish.

Idk how many different mangas, manhuas or manhwas that I've read but it's more than 3000. More to come!
(Number of H-mangas and one-shots: unknown and not included)

Over 180 anime shows watched and there's a vast sea of shows to go.

J/K-drama's 50+ shows watched.
It's Mr to you!

Mine is Filipino. Or Tagalog, if you'd rather. But Filipino is our national language, along with English, so I just chose that.

Arabic. And there is no story for it. I'm just the typical "Bahrani". 😉 😳

I THINK I learned Vietnamese first... But I forgot all of it because my parents never enforced it or anything. >_> So sad.

English and Cantonese? I spoke a bit of Canto when I was little but grew out of it because of going to school where everyone spoke English. but know a bit of Italian from taking classes in high school and teaching myself Japanese now. It's harder than it looks. :X

I'm a Pakistani so my native language is Urdu. I started learning English at 3 or so when I entered school. All of my education has been in English and will always be. Also I've lived in the Gulf all my life so Arabic is like a third language for me.
If I sum it up:
First language- Urdu
Second language- English
Third language - Arabic
(Apart from this I also know Punjabi which is my provincial language)

Sindhi. look at the irony the one above me is also Pakistani 😀

Native Polish, English since i was 8 years old (almost perfect since i read alot of books in eng), then Japanese since i was 17 yo - up to cert of JLPT N5 and bit of translating japanese to english - I used to lern German for 2 years but I forgot most of it already. I also know (and still remember) basics of mexican-spanish and chinese-mandarinian.

Well i do travel a lot and I still think in my native lang 😛 Sorry for not being shut-in.

Portuguese (the brazilian one). I started to learn english when I was 5 at regular school (it's one of the subjects). I've always listened to much more songs in english than in portuguese, and also visited a lot more pages in english and played videogames, which helped a lot. I only started to read manga in english when I was 12 though, because I couldn't wait for releases in portuguese hahaha (and that helped a lot too). When I was 14 I went to an english school for an year just to get a certificate but now it's lost somewhere. 😔

Tagalog 🙂 I started learning English when I started school (3 y/o). We also mix a lot of English into our conversations (Taglish: Tagalog and English), so I guess I knew basic conversational English, but I didn't really become fluent in it until I came to the U.S. when I was around 10.

Speaking another language in its native country is really much different than learning it in school or using it here and there with your native language. I still had a hard time speaking English when I first came to America even though I was supposed to have learned it already haha. I didn't have many problems with reading and writing though.

Same here! Native language is a mixed between Tagalog and English...and I was trying to convince my Illocano mom to teach me some curse words in her dialect haha. I'm also fluent in English (but I have a perceptible accent, even learning/speaking English in conjunction with Tagalog when I was young), and I can understand Japanese to some extent. I could have learned Mandarin when I was younger in my family for business reason (China being a neighbor) but it didn't happen.
