Kagda ya bil malinkiy, maya mama i papa uchili mne Russkiy yizik, patamushta ani pereyehale suda iz Raciyi.
(When I was young, my mom and dad taught me the Russian language, because they moved here from Russia.)
Of course, since I live in Canada, I speak English, which is my second language. And I can't type using the Russian alphabet on this keyboard, so I have to settle for the Latin one.
Dans l'ecole, j'apprends le francais aussi, parce-que j'habite au Canada.
(In school, I learn French as well, because I live in Canada.)

English is my second language (I am Spanish). I also know a little bit of French. But the language I really want to learn is Russian.
I don't think many people speak a language (other than their own) fluently.

English is my first language.
I am in my second year of studying German.
My mom speaks Spanish, so i know a lot of it.
I also take karate, which requires that i know Japanese.
I also know some Polish because I'm half Polish.

I'm from India and typically (not always though) , people in India speak multiple languages. In India almost every state has its own authentic culture and language.
I speak four languages, three of them are our national languages and English being the fourth.

I'm from Germany. Obviously, German is my first language, I speak Russian because my family is from there, so I guess English is my third language.
