Tagalog, though I am better at speaking English, for reasons unknown... Oh, and I attempted learning Japanese... but only parts of the grammar rules stayed with me... Too much work to learn a language after the age of 10!

Are Scandinavians born with English dictionaries or something?

Scandinavian languages are very similar to English, so I guess it's easier for us to pick it up compared to other langauages. Also, in Norway at least, kids now start learning English in school at a very young age. (We started late back when I was in school, but I've heard they start really early now.)

[Eriseley]

English. I learned Latin in school (heh). And I'm taking Arabic now.

[Mendelevosa]

Enghihs, a litle japanease.

[CrimsonN7]

English. Although Irish is our native tongue it's taught terribly here, barely anyone one speaks it.

[Pepperlexion]

Norsk.

Yep, same in Sweden. I started learning when I was 10.

[Negative_Creep]

Finnish, second language Swedish.

[Sesquipedalian4]

English. I dabble in Quarian.

[PaganPoetry]

English of the New York variety. Second language French. I can understand a tiny bit of Spanish and even form my own sentences if I'm feeling super ambitious.

[Steppdaddy2]

Quenya

[millahnna]

English. I can understand a bit of spanish and french (and read a bit more of each) but can barely speak either.

[Reizo Ryuu]

Dutch and Sranang Tongo.

English is my secondary language; a tiny bit of german and japanese as tertiary.

[Tsouks]

My native language is Hellenic (Greek).
I can speak English too.

I started out with Norwegian, but over the years I've become more proficient in English than I ever was in Norwegian. (Except maybe when it comes to pronunciation. )

Same here. I am Greek and then moved and lived in many European countries while I was a child and then again with work, so I understand an awful lot when I travel In Europe, but can speak only a tiny amount in each language and write nothing in many lanaguages lol....  English is by far my best or even natural language now because I studied it like mad when I finally ended up in UK and don't travel like I used to....  (One of my jobs is ESoL teacher now *laughing* ).

Speaking of which...

No, that's when I finished a course of english, I started to study english since February 2011

At a time
On a day / date
In a month / year / period

...Are useful guidelines.... *grinning* 

Since goes with that horrible present perfect stuff, so it would have to be "I have been studying / have studied English since February"    (or "I started to study in February"  would work too)


Present perfect and prepositions.. way worse than Collectors or Geth stunlock *grin*

Have fun

Well, that much I figured. English is kinda the village bicycle in Europe, every other language has had a go at her. So English is pretty adaptable that way.

Cantonese. I haven't taken any regular classes in ages so my literacy is terrible, and I'm not a fluent speaker either.
