I'm from England, so naturally English is my first language. And I mean proper English not any of this English (US) crap.

German. Learned English and French in school although there's virtually nothing left of the latter. This. It is exactly the same for me. Although I do speak a few japanese words and sentences by now, and I will later try to learn proper Japanese. I find that American English makes a lot more sense though, with words like centre making no sense if you pronounce it the way it's written. I agree to some degree (a rhyme^^). Since I am from Germany, I am often annoyed about words in English not being written as they are pronounced, because in Germany we try to write everything as we pronounce it, so it makes more sense for me to e.g. write 'center' instead of 'centre' because it is pronounced the former way. Although in school we learned British English, most of my English came from games, so this might be a reason as well. My native Language is German, although I speak better in English and write better in Spanish Quite hard to believe for me^^ Mon francais est plus ou moin bien mais c'est plutot ma troisieme langue si tu avais lu mon poste sur la premiere page. Très bien mon ami^^ |
