My spoken language is English. My parents talk to me in Tagalog though so I understand that. I guess if I went to the Philippines for a bit I could start to speak that better or more fluently. How about everyone here, what was your first language?

I speak tagalog at home but our main dialect in the city is Chavacano. It sounds something like Spanish but a little slower. I can speak English too but not much. Only when needed hehe..

Your english is great! I wish I could join another foreign language site and be able to communicate well with them. Your English is very understandable and your grammar is good too. Keep on with the learning!

My native tongue is Hiligaynon, a dialect in the Philippines spoken in the Visayan region. I also speak Bisaya, and Tagalog and/or Filipino (Filipino, is supposedly the country's official language, but is predominantly based on Tagalog, a dialect spoken in the northern part of the country. And of course, I speak English.

My mothertongue is Danish. I speak Danish to my family, my fiance and many of my friends. I have a couple of friends from other countries who don't speak Danish yet and we communicate in English instead. I speak a few other languages like German and Italian, but I don't use them in my daily life, and I don't know if I am still able to speak or write those languages. I tend to forget many of the words as I don't use them very often.
