Interesting question ...

Polish - native speaker;
Russian - fluent;
English - fluent;
German - basic proficiency;
Japanese - basic proficiency.

I consider English to be my first language at the moment, since I've been speaking it for most of my adult life. And I am getting pretty old...

English and a couple other Asian languages...

I believe I've learned a new language called Emoji. When I can't express myself adequately in Japanese I simply send the right emoji. Whole conversations have been had in this manner.

Thanks for that excellent analysis User#16452. I'm encouraged that making up a whole nother word is okay. BTW 'a whole nother' is often used in spoken English by we native speakers, is it not?But it's a completely bogus phrase.

English here, but it's gotten so bad (at times) after being in Japan so long... picking up bad habits in writing and grammar from reading and trying fix translations.

Another good question - how many people actually physically write in their languages(s)? I can spend days without ever picking up a pen or a pencil to actually write something out.

how interesting! i was trying to find a pen the other day and had to make a special trip out to get one as i have none at home!

The British think they speak English too, and they aren't too bad at it, almost as good as the Germans.
