Australian-born Swiss. Native language English, have moderate skill in Mandarin (which I use for work) and I can understand Swiss German but can't really speak it.

I'm Malaysian.

I speak both english and chinese. It's a bit complicated.

I converse in English with:
-Myself(yes i talk to myself)
-Most of the guys in my dad's side of my family
-My siblings
-Most of my close friends(particularly those fluent in English).
-Non Chinese foreigners
-A few of my teachers

and basically anyone who can and will converse in fluent English in a non Scottish accent.

With the sole exception being:
-this girl(who happens to also be my first friend) who i hardly even interact with now because she refuses to speak english. Says it causes "failure to communicate" That's what education here in Malaysia does to you, btw.

"Wut? The whole situation doesn't make sense. Why don't you just switch languages then?"

*sighs deeply

While

I converse in chinese with:

-most of my Chinese friends
-Most of the people in my mum's side of my family
-Most of my teachers

With a few exceptions being:

-My granduncle, who speaks fluent English but doesn't understand a single word of Chinese
-My 3yo cousin who i speak to in some random alien blubber because i'm not very sure what language i should use. He can speak a bit of chinese now, though.

Well, as a student of linguistics and a general international lover of languages I speak and write many languages so I guess the dominate answer in my case would be "Other ". Also as someone who lives in a multilingual environment. Though I would choose French from the list. Currently learning communicate in Afrikaans. smile.gif

Im interested in afikaans as I hear its a mix of dutch and english, If I do pick up dutch on the side one day I might get afrikaans too.

South africas probably one of my top countries that I admire but never had the chance to visit.

I can understand most of Afrikaans if it's written, and I know that people who are native to South Africa can also understand written Dutch.

but don't ask me to have a spoken conversation in our native languages tongue.gif

I myself am Dutch by birth and my main language is Dutch. But I'm also pretty decent with English and an absolute noob at Swedish

I've lived close to South African people, and their son was a childhood friend of mine.
Later through the power of the interwebs I've played a browser based MMO (Ogame if you're curious), and in the alliance Iwas in we had a few South Africans too
