I grew up with parents who always spoke spanish, but then i went to school and spoke english, and now i'm in bolivia, improving my spanish, so i guess i'm equally fluent in both, and i don't consider any of them my "second" language

Though right now i'm learning Japanese (which i love!!)

That seems to happen a lot, ppl moving here then getting Americanized, lol

That'd probably have happened to me too, but my parents decided to torture me and force me to go to Chinese school every week >.>

i can't really distinguish which ones i learned first, because i learned them all consecutively becuase my parents talk in all three [english,hindi,telegu] ... but i think my first word was in english so i could that as my first language. tongue.gif

I know this is random, but what's the difference between Bisaya and Tagalog? Because I thought Tagalog was Filipino. So what's Bisaya? Is it also Filipino?

Anyway, English is my first, but I kind of wish my parents had taught me another language when I was a kid... That would be hot. As for now, I'm stuck speaking English and attempting to speak Spanish. (Even though it's my third year, the Mexican workers still laugh when I try talking to them... Dang it! _unsure.gif)

Tagalog is Filipino.. Bisaya is a dialect.. it is a language spoken in a local area..

my first language is filipino and my 2nd language is english.. hmmm.. i think i learned it at the same time coz we speak Taglish at home when i was still young.. until now...

ooohh.. i understand Pangasinense too.. (a philippine dialect)
