If you are committing grammatical and punctual mistakes in your native language, it's a sin in my opinion. You just can't do that. On the other hand, if someone is trying to read and write in foreign language, I think little grammatical mistakes are excusable. If someone who is learning Hindi would speak or write to me and commit some mistakes, I wouldn't even pay any attention to it. They should be praised for being courageous enough to put themselves out there. My $.02

I guess, you are right about asking to parents about our first words, but what if they don't remember it lol? I must have uttered something like mom or dad. Can't say for sure though.

Of course, they sound differently. You will notice that British English sounds different than American English. Although they speak the same language, there is a difference in the accent. So yeah, the difference in the accent and how they sound is only natural.

When my GF broke up with me, my cousion said, there is more fish in the sea. She was just being a bitc*. This is the perfect example of it

Well, I have to say that it's the first time I have ever head of this word. Irregardless is not even a word, but when you type it wrong like I did right now, you will see the option to correct it. So, it is recognized as a word by my default grammar and spelling checker. I am really confused now.

English was only a trivial part of my education since childhood. I was born and raised in a state where nobody knew how to speak English in the society. It was an alien language for everyone. I was never taught anything besides A to Z words and some other basic English stuff. I wouldn't have learned to write all these words in a proper sequence if it wasn't for my determination to do well in English. It might sound like I am boasting, but I am only stating a fact.

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia In case you guys are wondering what this is, it's a name of a phobia - the fear of long words. How the hell one who is suffering from this phobia is going to tell the counselor what that he is suffering from hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia?

Right now my main focus is to concentrate and focus on learning my third and fourth language; aka, English and French. I think, I have gotten the hang off English language now, so I can start focusing on French a bit more. But yeah, I would definitely love to learn Spanish as my fifth language. I would be the first one in my family to learn 5 languages (*pats himself)!

I have Google Translator installed as an extension in my Google Chrome. I agree that the translations are not perfect - not by a long shot. Some of the translations are downright hilarious. But it's extremely useful when you need to translate a foreign-language website to the language you understand. I can translate websites like Gametsu (a Japanese gaming media site) to English and comprehend everything which I couldn't have done without Google Translator.

This is certainly the most intriguing thread. I am having so much fun perusing some of the best quotes ever Here are some of the quotes I use often - 1.) "You gotta dance like nobody is watching." 2.) “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”― Mahatma Gandhi 3.) "Never tell your problem to anyone. 20% don't care and 80% are glad you have them"

So, is there is such a thing as fictional language. Candidly speaking, I have never heard about any up until now. I didn't know that there are people learn and speak these fictional languages. I am intrigued I don't know if I would be able to get the hang off nay of these aforementioned languages as I am still learning English and French as my third and fourth languages respectively, but I might as well try to learn it after I master English language. Can anyone write in any of the fictional languages that have been mentioned above?

You dream of striking a conversation with native-English speakers and beating them to it. I know I can do it

I leaned both my first and second language since my childhood. So they both are like first languages to me. I can't say as to which one is my first and which one is my second language since Angika is our local language, but Hindi is our national language. So, Angika should be my first language, right? No, no one speaks Angika anymore, so I am more adept in Hindi than Angika. I think, I should call English as my second language
