    English is my 1st as well and yet at times I cannot speak it!

    I took 3 yrs of French in high school but like anything...if you don't practice or use it - it becomes weak and flabby...

    needless to say, I can remember like 7 words from those 3 yrs...it was "several" years ago though ;)

    I speak English, Spanish, German, and Russian. My wife will say that I've also been known to dabble in elvish, but she's a dirty liar.
