I suppose I can speak both American and Queen’s English, though I grew up with the latter (my dad is from England).

I learned starting at 3 years old 😊

Now, I am onto a third language of Galician, which is spoken in my country. Maybe I will even learn a fourth for my Japanese girlfriend but her close/immediate family all speaks English.

      What’s your native language if that’s okay to ask? Mine is Spanish.

        My parents migrated to Australia but only spoke German at home, so that’s what I learned. When I started school, they discovered their mistake, and I had to learn English. I remember my father saying for many years, “This is Australia, we speak English in this country”, my younger sister and I weren’t allowed to speak German at home, so I forgot a lot of it. In high school, we had to learn French or German, so it was natural to learn German. So German is both my first and my third language.

          Wow!! Amazing!!! My friend has Norwegian as her second because it’s what she was learning second but also Norwegian as her, like, third or fourth. She is not at all fluent in Norwegian but it’s her childhood language.
