Neither Spanish nor Portuguese is in the top two, so keep quiet you silly Iberians.

I don't mind that. I just find weird that how come anyone thinks that French is the most spoken language in the world second only to English.

And if we are going officially, English is not the most spoken language in the world. Mandarim Chinese is.

Look at French, 14th.

I'd be inclined to jump all over you even without the mistakes. Jim Morrison = teh hawts.

Isn't Portugal one of the world's 23 oceans?

English is my native language, and I've picked up pieces of German, and am in my third year of Spanish, which allows me to understand quite a bit of Italian.

Aside from that, I am fluent in Draconian and both dialects of Daemonaic.

In my field of paper flowers..
Slovakian (Or Slovak, or whatever) is my native language.

I've been speaking English for 5-ish years (a little less maybe, most of the time I was learning) and I've been studying French since gr. 6...and I'm taking it up to gr. 12. By this, I mean that once I get out of highschool I will hopefully have a pretty good knowledge of French and something nice to stick on my resume. ^_^

I had an early exposure to the French language. I hate it with a passion. If given a French dictionary, I'd wipe my ass with it.

I just cannot abide it. It, to me, is the snootiest language on the face of the planet. Portuguese is close second :p

Daemonaic > French.

Isn't that called Yiddish?

I speak English, which (as I understand it) is still foreign in some countries.
wow...lets me explain...

hebrew = languge of israel, and some jew speak it around too.

yiddish = a jewish branch off of german, some diff world and diff accent and pronuciation. example, what, in german is pronunced vus, and in yiddish pronunced, voos, as in voos is doos, meaning, what is this. german jews went to america for WWII and brought yiddish with them.

i hate that im smart at the most useless things :(

i speak english, as im american. i speak spanish very little yiddish, a little hebrew.
