What's your main language/first language/native language? Mine is English, but I know there are people here that speak different languages here as their mother tongue, so I got curious!

English.

A tiny part of me though kinda wishes I was taught Spanish from a young age but for understandable reasons, I wasn't.

Just English for me. I really wish I'd been raised bilingual but alas my parents also only speak English and I never attended a school that offered even French Immersion until grade 7. :(

Dutch is my main language, although I was tempted to say English since I speak more English than Dutch

Though I only ever speak it to the family, and it's been over a month since I'm abroad atm. Mom said I was getting rusty after we called a few days ago lol. Although I'm mostly fluent in Russian, I still speak English much better, having been immersed in it for way longer.

German. So, if you ever find yourself wondering why some of my sentences sound so complicated: that's why.

Back to boring old English!

I’m fluent in Spanish though and plan to try and learn either Mandarin or Thai next.

english, but i took french on and off during both high school and college. i can still read it alright, but not as well as i previously could. can't speak much a lick of it, but i know the basics and it wouldn't be too hard to brush up on it if i ever needed to.

Cantonese was my first language! Apparently I was fluent in it until around the time I started attending school because after that everything was taught in English, and since my family was fluent in English as well they'd usually just speak it at home to me, with some Cantonese. (they would switch languages mid-sentence a lot) So over time I lost quite a lot of ability to understand / speak Cantonese but definitely not too hopeless at it. :D

Cantonese as well, although I learned it almost simultaneously as English - my parents mostly speak Chinese but my brothers mostly speak English, plus we had a housekeeper who spoke English to me before I started preschool so I was always bilingual for as long as I remember. I can definitely hold a conversation in Cantonese and read traditional Chinese relatively well, but I know my writing has suffered since it's not something I need to use very regularly, since "graduating" Chinese weekend classes when I was like 14-15.
