I was browsing through the threads, and thought that this would be the one to best display my language talents.
Anyway...
My native language is English. During my years in elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, I was also taught Spanish. I stayed with it, and am now fluent in Spanish (I am also the 4th and 15th Place Winner in the Ohio State Spanish Competition).
Then, my mother was tired of me not learning anything in the summer (Tiger Parent), so she made me take summer courses. One course was Mandarin, and 8 years later, I am the proud owner of a brain fluent in Chinese.
So, to review,
English, Spanish, and Chinese- I can read it, write it, and speak it.
Note: I can also speak some French, Italian, German, Russian, and Japanese. But only just enough to say who I am, where I am from, where I am going, where is the bathroom, and Please Do Not Kill Me! I know other basic stuff as well.
Note: I will not teach profanity, because I see no reason for it. It is rude and vulgar, and there plenty other words that a person can say to vent their frustration and other feelings.
