Are you bilingual?
Weltal:
English is my first language, and Tagalog is my native language. I don't speak Tagalog as much as I should, but when I'm around my parents and other family members I speak it.
I'm learning Japanese and Arabic. Thank Odin for "Rosetta Stone."
Pentium100:
Lithuanian is my native language, English is second. I can read, write and understand English quite well, but if I cannot speak it well, I basically have to "write" what I'm going to say in my head the "read" it aloud.
Southrop:
English is my first language. Fluent in this.
Mandarin is my mother tongue. Fluent in this too.
Cantonese I have picked up from living in Hong Kong for a long time; not very good though.
Japanese I have learnt at school and as a hobby. I think I'm quite good at Japanese.
French I studied for 3 years (5 years ago) before dropping. Can't remember most of it (ah oui, c'est tres bien)
German I learnt the odd phrase from my father who used to work in Germany, though I never bothered going above those few phrases.
Korean I can count to 10 (and recite lyrics from Gee by SNSD).
Australian I can manage if I try hard. I did live in Australia for a while during my childhood, but I don't think I had enough exposure to Australian.

Love how others do that mother tongue mistake too.
I tend to do it a lot too.
