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.
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. : )
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.
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
mine is Dutch but I am also fluent in english and i can speak and write a litle german and french and i can translate old greek and latin and. eventualy I want to learn german and french completly and also start learning spanish and mabye portugese
