English is my first language, and Spanish is my second. I am working on Russian too! Being bilingual is such a great skill to have.

Dutch is my first language but when I was a little kid I could speak Italian as well.(My dad was Italian and my mom Dutch)
I lost the skill over time but I still understand allot when I hear someone speaking Italian and pick up language, I can make myself understandable to certain degree. Because my bro lives in Spain I also picked that up a little because it's so similar to Italian.

I actually got Spanish in school as well as German but I forgot anything German :p
When I was little we used to have satellite tv for my dad so he could watch Italian shows on Rai Uno, but I actually used it to watch Cartoon Network straight out of Amerika. So I understood english pretty fast as a kid because it had no subs and I feel like it's my real second language from about 4 years old.

English is my first language and Tagalog being my second as I'm from the Philippines originally. Two years ago I became fascinated with languages and I now speak French to an intermediate level, Arabic and Spanish to a somewhat conversational level and I recently signed up to a Mandarin course :D

I used to have Italian classes in my old country. Me and my friends would play battle ship on paper. Then our teacher caught us and humiliated us in front of the board

Russian seems so difficult to me because of the alternate character use!! But it would be a Wonderfull skill to have!
Yeah, the Cyrillic alphabet is really different, but once you get to know the letters and the sounds it's actually not that hard!

There is an app, it's called Duolingo, it's free and it is a really cool way to learn languages. I am not sure if they have Arabic, but you might check it out!

I can't really tell if the languages I know are primary or secondary since I have spoken both at an early age. But in order of where I was born, Chinese is my primary, English is my secondary. I also know enough French and Japanese to get me by and a little of Spanish and German.
