[Enfyrneaux]

Lo siento...no hablo ingles :(

EDIT - whoops it turned into a poll under my nose

[tool]

Nope, I don't speak english. I only know how to speak French.

[CyberSirius]

[Insert the duh award picture]

[rex]

I can't pronounce death right(european and all our æøå makes english sound weird). Am I a noob now?

[Bean316]

The internet is probably the worst place to look for English speakers. The horrors I've seen...

And the worst ones may even come from your own country :p

Fatman comes to mind. He lives in North Carolina, is supposely 12 years old, and i've seen people who have never spoke a single word of english have better english then him.

sorry, someone had to post it.

How you would respond No if you didn't speak english...and then how would you be reading BuF? that rivals the Chicken and the Egg quandary

[togmkn]

Yeah, I think the "English??? What??" option is obsolete. But, then again, it's not like no other poll has included completely random answers.

What geometric shape would you be...penny arcade.

[MediocreTangerine]

Aw förlåt, jag talar bara lite dåliga svenska ;)

In seriousness, I have much respect for the people who have taken on English as their second language and are just diving in in regular conversation, often with excellent results :tup:

[Jackal]

TECHNICALY! I speak American. People from England speak English.

[Al]

TECHNICALY! I speak American. People from England speak English.

:tup:

[Syri]

english speaker, from england here :)

[ant75]

I don't think the 'basic' category is really relevant. I mean, where i leave, anybody that's able to read and understand BuF OT would at least fall into the 'intermediate' category. [insert joke about the French here]

[BobCobb]

Nah, you still speak english. However I understand your need to remove yourself from anything having to do with that horrible.... well you know where. ;)

[Sijik]

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with England now?

I still identify as speaking American English, mainly to acknowledge that I speak a generally slaughtered version of true English. (Although, they say that the mid-western accent is the purest form of English... ^_^ )

(Another English speaker, here. I also speak Croatian and, by special request, Leet. ;))

[BobCobb]

I speak in alien languages impercetible by the human ear. It sucks cause I can't impress girls with my talents... :(

[Peavey]

wtf si teh 3nglish I onl33 sp34k l33t lol stfu u all

[hyrulian]

First language :)

[Trynant]

Eigo ga wakarimasen.
Nihongo ga wakarimasen.
J'oublie toute mes langues.

On another note, I use Faulkner, Joyce and Pynchon as my English handbooks. Apparently, so does the rest of the internet.

[ALG]

wtf si teh 3nglish I onl33 sp34k l33t lol stfu u all

lol

Just a side note- I think the internet proves that the category "English is my first language" should not be considered the most advanced. There are some very horrid EFL speakers.

Yes I speak English as my 2nd language, but I'm not that good. There still are discussions here that lose me in about 15 sentences. I'd like to join in some of the political threads, but due to the lack of good words to get my point across I often don't. People tend to misunderstand me then.

I wish I could speak/write English like 3s.

[Sahkolihaa]

Of course I speak English. First language infact. I've got a full British accent that far too many Europeans/Americans lust over (urgh!).

Ha @ the "English??? What??" option :D

[el_Marko]

Well I was born in england and it was my first language :B

[Rambowjo]

Ich bin dänisch und ich spreche englisch.. :P

I find my level english to be like 7/10!

[Mr.Magnetichead]

No I don't speak english. I only know how to say that sentance and this one explaining it.

[Balton]

Eigo ga wakarimasen.


Ogenki deska?


(not bad for my 2nd lesson so far :D )

[Balton]

Ich bin dänisch und ich spreche englisch.. :P

I find my level english to be like 7/10!

so why are you speaking german?

[GotBeer?]

English speaker from the Midwest here. And I don't think it's that we speak the 'purest' form of English, it's just easier to understand us because we don't accent it.
[insert joke about the French here]Which one? There are just so many....

All this time I was blaming it on the weed :D

[Hadmar]

I do not speak English to separate let everything of google translate. That folds genuinly super madly.

[sid]

My mother tongue is Hindi but yes I do speak English...but I and many of my friends also speak Hinglish
a mix between Hindi and english for example "you kno yaar"
yaar means buddy in Hindi.

[Slaughter]

Second language.

I have a problem with the word "laugh" tho...Can´t pronounce it *self pity*

[Cap'n Beeb]

Nein.

[Jackal]

Second language.

I have a problem with the word "laugh" tho...Can´t pronounce it *self pity*

ROFL. I laughed out loud on that.

ROFL again.

Well....to southern people, you DO have a accent. If you don't talk like the south does, then you have the accent. I know when I first moved down to Florida, people were like "JHEY, you talk funneh n stuff. yall". I said, "No, I talk like a real human being. Not some cracker ass freak like you"

[fades_away]

<<< English speaker! :D

Is there even a difference between English and American?

[BITE_ME]

TECHNICALY! I speak American. People from England speak English.

Ditto. I was taught it on my home planet.

[Trynant]

Transexual Transylvania has English courses?

[Synastren]

He lives in North Carolina, is supposely 12 years old, and i've seen people who have never spoke a single word of english have better english then him.
ROOOOOFLECHOPPER!
Dear God, I hope that was on purpose. :o
Naa. I speak Americanese.

You are not your avatar, neither am I!
I am my avatar...

[DeaJae]

Of course we don't speak english. Thats why we have these subtitles.

[fades_away]

Haha right on. ;)

[NeoNite]

I am my avatar...

So, where's hardy?

[Kantham]

........

I whish i could make threads too :(

[ant75]

Which one? There are just so many....

Well if you're american you cannot make those regarding linguistic skills... but that's only a few less ;) .

[nude_monster]

I must get the FCE thing if I will to study abroad, musn't I?

[K.N.I.F.E]

I pronunce th like f so if i wanted to say theify the thief it would sound like feafy fe feaf. But the weird thing is that it is the only language I know. furdy free is another favorite.

thou=fou

[El JuaKo]

im from mex and i sometimes find my english better than americans who post :(

[TossMonkey]

Not only do I speak English but I try my best to read up on English history so that I am not like 90% of our idiotic population. Have any of you ever read about the War of the Roses for instance? Pretty intense if you ask me. Perhaps I am paranoid that if I am ever questioned on camera something like "Do you know where Europe is?" I don't want to say "West?" and then a billion people see it and my whole nation is the laughing stock of the planet. (America anyone?) ;)

Proud Briton signing in.

[neilthecellist]

Not just an ESL student here, but ironically, even though I'm ESL, I'm skipping one year ahead, passing AP English and moving on to AP English Literature.

Not to mention the other three languages that I am fluent in. Spanish (Spain/Mexico/Guatemala dialect), Chinese (Mandarin-Traditional dialect), and Japanese.

Yeah, I think the "English??? What??" option is obsolete.

HA! D'you still remember that one option that read, "I like toast"?

[Iron Archer]

I grew up in Italy, and though my parents are American, I'm not quite sure if english was my first language or not. I went to Italian nursery school, and some elementary, so I'm not really sure. I do know I used to speak it fluently, and think in Italian though. No accent on either.

[neilthecellist]

Hm, same here, I think in English, but the first thing that comes out of my mouth by instinct is Chinese (Mandarin dialect), so I always have to re-translate my English thoughts to English dialogue so I can speak it out...-_-
