French was my first language.

I learned my French through school. I was lucky in that the tutor on 'The Wonder Years' set spoke fluent French.

My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.

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.

I taught high school students Spanish.

When I got to college I simply decided that I could speak French, because I just could not spend any more time in French classes. I went ahead and took courses on French literature, some of them even taught in French.

I was born in Paris, and my mother was a French teacher, but then I rebelled against my upbringing and studied Spanish in school. So now I just speak bad French and bad Spanish.

I learned Spanish at home and, since half my family doesn't speak English, it's my first language.

I am fluent in Spanish and I understand French, Italian and Portuguese.

I speak French fluently, so that really helped.
