I've never lived in an English-speaking country, ever, but I lived in Austria. So, my second language is German. And when I went to school, I had a lot of classes in English.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never been in any country for more than four years, and I'm learning different languages all the time. It gives you a different attitude.
I actually speak fluent German. And I live in Vienna, and I'm married to a Viennese woman.
I learned Spanish at home and, since half my family doesn't speak English, it's my first language.
I meet people overseas that know five languages - that the only language I'm comfortable in is English.
My first language is both English and Spanish. My mom was raised in Los Angeles, so with her we spoke English, but my father was born in Cuba, so with him we spoke Spanish.
I lived in England to learn English. When I went to England for the first time, it was like being on the Moon. I had no friends, I couldn't speak the language. I was very isolated.
I'm completely English, but I grew up in Paris and went to school here. My parents moved when I was five.
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.
I spent ten years in London; I trained there. But because I started in English, it kind of feels the most natural to me, to act in English, which is a strange thing. My language is Spanish; I grew up in Argentina. I speak to my family in Spanish, but if you were to ask me what language I connect with, it'd be English in some weird way.
