I started learning English when I was about 3, so it doesn't really feel like a second language to me... but Japanese was definitely my first language.

Umm, technically, I learned Korean first, but that was when I was a baby, and I've forgotten it all since then.... I speak English only in my house, except once in a blue moon when I attempt Korean.

My first language was English. Coz my dad couldn't speak Chinese my parents were very Americanized even though we live in Malaysia.

Then Cantonese, Malay and Mandarin.

Now I'm currently learning Japanese and Korean.

And now I regret not learning Tagalog when I was working at the Phillipino embassy here... :S

I learned English when I was about 6 and learned more English in Kindergarten. So yes, English is my second language. My first language was the language of the Philippines, Tagalog. Surprisingly, I still speak Tagalog fluently...

tagalog first then english

I learned to speak korean first but I also learned english when I was like 3 so and I went to american schools so basically even though english is my second language, I'm more comfortable (or fluent, whateer way you want to put it) in english. I am also good at korean but it's not as easy because I only speak it at home and well, basicly at home and sometimes with friends. English, on the other, I speak at the time at school so...yea..I guess I'm more fluent in english.
