I presume you speak Danish most of the time then? I find it fascinating that there are people on here who write in perfect English and I think of them as English-speakers but who leave the computer screen and go and conduct their lives in a different language!
I do, pretty much all of my life is in Danish. I speak English at the pub i go to. Most of the bartenders are from England but also from Romania and Hungary and spain. A lot of the guests are also from England and i have a few friends i speak English to because they dont know danish. I can easily go a couple of weeks without speaking a word English. Then i use it on the internet.
I keep it up by reading novels and comic books in English. I read Danish novels as well but books in English are a lot cheaper and i can buy them from English sellers which makes it even cheaper. I like saving money i read my first novel in English when i was 12 and taught myself most of the english i know by watching beverly hills 90210 as a child so no one ever say that tv show did no good.

I'm from Scotland my first language is English did a wee bit of French in school but notally forgotten most of that now and I'm very fluent in foul language
I'm from England, born and bred. I speak English as my first language and can read and speak a little Spanish (enough to order food/drink and say hello) and can just about remember a few words from my German class at school.
I speak English as my first language and I'm fluent in Italian. I speak some Dutch but read it much better and I speak some Japanese . I'm also fluent in Klingon if anyone else considers that a language. /\ [Trekkie]
I was born and live in New Zealand so therefore speak English. I learnt spnish at school but that is shocking now.
I want to learn Italian as that's my family heritage.
Working in a very multicultural job I'm picking up essential words for patient care like sleep, sit, pain, no etc in Hindi and mandarin.. Certainly an experience!
From Nymph to Dragonfly, I know my place.
Call me Bee. =) Like it or Lump it.
Cause the passion and pain are gonna keep you alive someday
Born and live in England. First language is English. Know a few Asian languages -mother tongue.
I also learned French and Mandarin at school but can only remember the numbers and a few basics.
Born in Watford, home is in Herts, live in London for uni.
I'm a quarter German, a quarter Polish, a quarter Welsh, and a quarter Scottish but half American and half English. Slightly screwy but yeah... Go figure.
Speak English almost fluently, understand some German and some French, also the odd work in Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Dutsch, other assorted European language.
The world is just illusion always trying to change me.
You will find wonder wherever you can, and spread joy whenever you are able.
I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, divide within me. - Frankenstein.
Joking aside. I am fluent in English and could hold a fairly competent (yet simple) conversation about German politics and ask where the toilets are in German. (A-level antics). I also know odds and ends of some Swahili and Lugandan but only very basic words from my time spent in Africa!
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.
i was born in Wales but live in England now...my first langauge is Welsh, second is English....I also know little bits of Irish, Spanish, French, German and South African

I was born in England, now live in Wales for Uni. I know very few words in Welsh (am trying). I can get by with German and French if I lived there, but am no where near fluent. I also know a few simple sentences and words in Hindi.
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said "I just don't care"?
I'm born in England, brought up and live in Scotland. I can speak English, and studied Spanish and French at first year university level.
I can understand several Scottish dialects, and the different slang terms used in different parts of Scotland.
