    I speak English and German. English is my native language (and so my easiest). I began studying German in the tenth grade and continued until I got my Masters Degree in it. I found it came naturally and though not easy, was quite logical. I do not think it is that similar to English except for some word origins.

    English, french, spanish (some). Learned english as primary language. Went to a bilangual elementary school, so I learned french very young, and wast very difficult. Am in college now, and learnins spanish, although it is not impossible, but it is harder than french-probably due to my age, as well as I have nobody to converse with in any language except for english. Also, when learning spanish, I tend to somehow insert french words for things very unintentionally-maybe I speak Franish?
