    my native tongue is probably most likely English. Yes I do speak more than one language, I can speak English and I'm fluent in American Sign Language. I also know a little bit of French and Spanish but I don't know if it'd be enough to hold up a conversation.

    My native tongue is English. I can speak a little of some languages like Japanese and Spanish, but that's about it. It's also not enough to really have a conversation with a native of those two languages. :c I do want to learn more about speaking many others like French, Japanese and Spanish. Mostly Spanish because we have a lot of Mexicans in our state (I live in Arizona). I also want to learn American Sign Language because it's actually quite beneficial to people with disabilities and not just those who are deaf.

    I speak Portuguese (native) and English. Can understand Spanish. I also know "omelette du fromage" and "je suis très content" in French.

    English mixed in w/ some cussing. Seriously though, I can't even speak another language aside a few words of French and Spanish. If I could learn any language then it would be either Mandarin or Japanese.

    My first language is English. I have some familiarity with Spanish and Italian, but don't ask me to speak those two haha. I think I would like to learn Khmer, though, as my parent's home country was Cambodia. My parents didn't teach me as they wanted me to learn English first and afraid I would get the two mixed.

    Native English speaker. I've forgotten what little French and Spanish I ever knew, but I'm holding on to a bit of Japanese still. If I had the time I'd like to relearn my Japanese and French to get up to a conversational level again. It's kinda sad to have known something and forgotten it.

    My first tongue is English and I can sorta speak French, I wish I could speak Italian though that would be a dream come true.

    I grew up with both English and Chinese simultaneously - I was born in Canada so English is a given, but my parents made a big point of not wanting me to lose my heritage/mothertongue, so when I started kindergarten they also enrolled me in weekly Chinese classes so I could learn to read and write in Chinese too, and we speak it a lot at home.

    I've taken classes in high school and college for French, Latin and Japanese, but I wouldn't really say I'm fluent in any of those, lol.

    English and Italian. Very slowly learning Spanish and Dutch, both of which are coming really easily thanks to the Italian and English backgrounds respectively.

    To people who say that they want to learn Italian, why? And why not another language like Spanish instead, which is structurally similar but somewhat easier and far more widely spoken?

    Maybe because it sounds nicer? Italian does sound nicer. Very musical. Like Argentinian Spanish (which is greatly influenced by Italian anyway).

    Native Spanish speaker here btw.

    Hm, I suppose. Doesn't make it any less an impractical language, though.

    ...then again, people don't learn everything for a reason. I'm speaking here as someone who learned Italian mostly out of necessity as opposed to for how it sounded - as you know I actually much preferred the idea of learning Spanish beforehand, haha. Each to their own, I suppose.
