My native language is Indonesian. I learned English since 8 years old through console games and books. When I played games or read books, I always took notes on every difficult words I encountered and tried to look up in the dictionary later. Thanks to that, I can understand some reading without notable difficulties, and I have already memorized many vocabularies. When I was in 4th through 7th grade, I've been trained in listening skill by my teachers, so I can understand clearly what people said, though my speaking skill is so-so because I'm a shy person, I rarely talk much. 🙁

English is my first language. But my situation is kind of weird because my father's from the U.S. and my mother's Japanese, so I grew up hearing and speaking both languages. My mom always tells me that when I was small, it confused me to the point that I would often mix the languages together in the same sentences when I spoke 🤣 . It was especially bad since I was not old enough to start school at that time. But I started speaking Japanese predominantly when we moved to Japan when I was around 3.

I'm a bit of a drifter between two countries

German. I had years and years of english in school, and now i prefer to read and watch most of my stuff in english. I´m pretty comfortable with my writing skills, but when spoken to my english degrades to the level of a 10 year old 😀

I need a huge balcony, to talk to my people

My native language is Telugu (But I can't write Telugu.I can only speak).I know Tamil well(both speak and write) which may be considered close to mother tongue for me i think.

I speak french of Quebec and i also speak english. I live in Montreal (Quebec).

Polish. I started learing English at the age of 6-7, but I've never taken classes seriously (and English of my first teacher - to the end of primary school - reaaally sucks! I found my notebook from 5th grade a few months ago...). When I went to middle school (12 yo) I decided I have to try - 'no English? no future" so... I started reading manga in English :3 I remember that most of the time I spent translating words in google translate, but after a few years I have no problem with surfing in English, on the whole I don't see polish websites anymore - with a small exceptions, of course. I try to persuade people who think English is their weak side and they suck that they can change it pretty easily, if they start from small steps! 😃 I know somebody who appreciated my idea of watching Jdramas with English subtitles instead of Polish after some time 😀

Well, I'd like to learn Spanish (I started in high school 1,5 years ago), but I don't have enough motivation, I think. 🤢 I mean... I'm too lazy xDD

My native language is English, so I'm pretty boring in that aspect... working on making German my 2nd language though.

Romanian 🙂
I started learning English when I was in kindergarten, so I suppose I can call it my... second native language, maybe? 😛 And now I'm so used to watching TV shows and movies in English that I find it weird when I hear them in Romanian 🤣

"In a world where most people would be crazy, then it would be normal to be crazy and crazy to be normal... but then again, if you were normal, then you would be crazy... isn't it crazy what a paradox a little craziness can create?"

It's Polish, but I've started learning English in primary school and now I'm even studying English Philology, so yeah - I'm more or less bilingual ^^ Somewhere along the line I've also tried learning german, latin (compulsory in my field of study), italian, french (but I've gave up on this one, because my teacher sucked) and japanese (self study) - as you can see languages are my life 😀 (kind of can't help it, as [hopefully!] working as a translator is a natural consequence of studying philology ^^)

Klingon
😀

English for me as well.

I failed both French and Spanish in school, but can speak enough Japanese to get by. I'm not good enough to translate though, manga is HARD!!!!

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

My native language is Tagalog (Philippines) although we also learn English at the same time. English is basically our medium of language in learning since preschool. I'm more of a grammarian than a speaker in terms of English language and vise versa with Tagalog.
Currently I'm struggling to learn how to speak and write Japanese language. Ganbate to me (T.T)
