english, but that's only because i was born into a country that speaks this language. both the countries i come from (ethnicity) aren't english speaking nations.

tfw the only italian

that's very unique, and don't worry, i'm learning italian and can speak decently (getting better though), so you're not lonely in terms of speaking to somebody. : )
 
English. I would love to learn another language, but I lose motivation when trying to write in them.
 
English. I'm half Chinese so I would love to learn it one day but the pronounciation is way too hard! Lets not even talk about writing..

Spanish, Italian and French!
 
I grew up speaking Mandarin and Cantonese as a little kid but then I moved to a school that spoke English only. My folks are very Western as well and would speak English to "blend in" more. The only people I ever spoke Chinese to were my grandparents but I lost the language growing up because I had no more use for it. So technically I'm fluent in English but my first languages were Mandarin and Cantonese.
 
German! Even with it being my mothertongue, the language can be a pain sometimes. I live in a really rural area, we have a really heavy dialect and having the city kids guess what I'm saying is always a delight because it's like a "wrong answers only" meme.

I also have been teaching myself english since age 6, so that's that.
 
Spanish!
I learned English in the school and with some extra courses. And then I studied French for 1 year...

I'm bilingual, grew up speaking German and English. Though living in a German speaking country has made my English not as good as my German. And my English accent or lack thereof is RP due to obsessively listening to BBC Radio Chronicles of Narnia audiobooks as a child and picking up the accent from there. My English relatives have a southern accent, which sounds sliiightly different than mine.

I don't think I have a German accent? My inflection might be slightly Kölsch-ish, or from around the Cologne area/NRW in general. It's more pronounced when I visit my German relatives in Cologne haha
