I'm a native English speaker who has no other language, and I feel I'm in the minority here, where it seems there are lots of people who speak multiple languages.
So what is your first language?

I can blend in well in most places I visit, except for SE ASIA. :)
Native English speaker, taught myself Spanish, first using Radio Lingua's Coffee Break and Show Time Spanish podcasts before moving on to watching TV shows, reading news etc without translations and picking it up as I go. ~4yrs later, I'm a fairly fluent speaker with an Argentine accent when I speak Spanish (as confirmed on my recent trip to Spain where some confusion as to my nationality ensued :P)
Assembly level language
The amount of polls we have and members commentating regularly I'm getting an idea of what certain members on OZB 'look' like.
I grew up in England, so British English is my first language. I also can speak Chinese due to studying accounting (^_^).
