I am American and was as well as always speaking English. When I was a child for a few years our next door neighbors were from France. The woman taught me some words and she informed me that I had a great accent to speak the French language. Her children were a lot younger then me and we were in the basement playroom and the doorbell rang. She went upstairs to answer the door while I stayed downstairs to mind the young children and I said something in French to the toddler. The woman returned downstairs with her guest that was also a French woman. As they were coming down the steps they were laughing. Her friend said, "I see" . The mother of the children told me that her friend had heard me speaking to her son and thought I was a French person speaking. When I started going to Junior High school (Middle school) I took 1 year of French I class. Then we moved and I missed a year of French class and took French I over in High school and was unable to continue taking classes in higher levels. I learned a few words in Italian from a friend when I was in High school too. So I only know English completley and a little French from what I can remember. How many languages do you know?
