Sorry, I forgot to post the rules.

Rules:
Just because you used to speak something other than english, it doesn't give you the right to post in some foreign language.
Thanks,
Management.

Spanish was my first language. I went into kindergarten not knowing English, but I learned quickly. Of course, now my English is much, much better than my Spanish.

Well, my parents are both English speaking but I'm French speaking. So English isn't exactly my first language. I speak more French than English. Besides, I reside in a French country. =)

Well, kinda of both Cantonese and English.

I lived with my grandparents, who were illiterate, so I had to speak a lot of Chinese.

But ever since I started school, I haven't been able to speak Chinese as well :T

Yes, but I also spoke a little Spanish because I had a Hispanic babysitter when I was really young. I've forgotten it all by now, though.

Technically, my first language was Thai but I'm fluent when I speak English. (I seemed to have forgotten how to speak fluent Thai, though.)

I starting learning them both at the same time. But now my English is better, because I speak it more often.
