Spanish is actually my first, and I was fluent until about 4 or 5 when I kind of stopped. I didn't start speaking Spanish again until high school, and while I am very functional and retain a natural Puerto Rican accent, I am not fluent and don't have a full understanding of the language.

I was born in the UK so I started learning English first... but my Vietnamese grandmother tried teaching me Vietnamese and my Indian grandmother tried teaching me Hindi.. I ended up learning bits of both... I have no idea which language I speak well though... After that I drifted through other places picking bits and pieces of their native languages before my parents settled in the US

English isn't mine. Didn't speak a word until around age 5 I think.

Funny, I learned Spanish in high school, but at this point I'm trying to mentally jettison it to leave enough room for Polish. Otherwise I'm afraid my English will fall out instead.

Spanish is hardwired into my head. I wasn't relearning it so much as rediscovering it. It has always been there, deep in my brain.

I've been having touble with Chinese though. Even though I'm always at or near the top of the class, I actually have to put in some effort to learn it. For Spanish, I see a word and remember it. And if I use it a lot, I remember it forever.

English is my first language. My only language, really. As a kid, I knew commands in various languages because my mom is weird like that, but they're long forgotten.

English. I started learning Hebrew right before the fourth grade. I think I'm stopping now.
