This is probably going to sound like a real stupid question but are you the descendants of immigrants and can you speak their language. My Dad's Welsh but I was brought up in Canada. At no time did I hear my Dad speaking it and I was never taught it. Are your parents or grandparents from a different country with a different first language to the one you were born/raised in and can you speak their first language?

It's just always something that's interested me.

 

Well, they only speak English, so I would hope so.
It would certainly be more interesting if they knew another language.
So I could know it.
I would like to know German.

 

I can understand and speak my native language (somali) quite well. I can even read it too.
The problem is, there are too many dialects in such a small country so people don't understand me anyway :/

 

Sweet. Were you taught it or did you pick it up from your folks?

 

My dad attempted to teach me but he gave up because I proved to be too stubborn of a student
I kind of picked it up as they were talking and occasionally asked the meaning of a word I didn't understand.
They always speak to me in somali and I reply back in my own mix of english and somali.

 

I can speak, read and write Russian

 

Man i my the only Mexican on here
but any ways i was raised by my parents both teaching me spanish and english so..

 

My parents are from romania. I was born in Germany and can understand romanian pretty well, but I don't speak it very well... I'm to unsure in grammar and often can't remember all words I woult like to say xD

 

My parents speak English, Polish, Russian, and my dad a little German. I only know English and Polish, but I do know French.

 

I have no Culture.I have no Parents.I have no Soul.

Fear what it is to fear.The truth goes on and lies.
