Is your English native or not?

Postby Wohlstand » Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:51 am

Hello!
Because we have many non-English native speakers, I wanna look how many English and non-English native speakers are here.
Are English or non-English native speakers more here?

EDIT:
About me: English is not my native language, my language is Russian. In our country we usually don't learn deep English needlessly for it, but in most of our schools we learn them totally, but not deep. In some schools are teaching a deep English, but those schools are lyceums, gymnasiums or a special schools with deep learning of English.

English is not my native language! My native language is Finnish but unfortunately a move to the U.S.A. and learning British English for the past 11 to 12 years has severely impaired my capability of actually making a sentence in Finnish. What a shame.

English is not my native language, I'm brazilian. I don't think my English is so good, but at least it's understandable.

English is not my native language.
I do translate my thoughts from english into my native language though, because else I wouldn't be able to speak it nearly as well.

Well, technically I'm not a native speaker since I'm from Germany, but I'm (hopefully) gonna get my Cambridge Degree on C2 level this year which would qualify me as a native speaker.

That's funny, I just finished the CPE Cambridge exam :p
Despite the fact that english isn't my native language, I probably speak more english than dutch (mainly bc most of my friends are english).

The one time I get tired and spell something wrong, autocorrect fails me...
My spelling is poor when I'm tired.

My English is not native. Almost everything English I learned came from Internet.

No it's not. My native language is turkish/albanian. I learned over 5 different languages already, and english was kinda the last language i learned.

Yes my english is not that good, but hey i try my best better then nothing.

I grew up in the US, so of course I'm a native English speaker. That doesn't mean "I don't fuck up when I write/type shit." I make multiple type errors and let's not talk about my writing (Ugh.....). However, I do want to learn some German as well as Japanese.
