English and French since I was a baby and French since the age of 8 I think. I can speak other languages too but these are the ones I tend to think in. :biggrin:

Tell me what ages you learnt each language.

I've known Somali since I could speak, Arabic since I was around 13, I've been learning Spanish since I was 8 and I learnt German fluently when I was 15

Oh this isn't from school. I've been taking extra French lessons outside of school since that age. I started doing French at school after that so I've always been ahead :smile:

But why do you need to know French? No offence to the French People.

English is the current lingua franca of the world spoken well in

1) USA - largest economy in the world
2) India- largest democracy and soon largest population in the world
3) Old British Empire

Gujarati, nice, do you ever think in gujarati?

So arabic was learnt age 3?

Italian age 5? English age 6/7?

Medium of instruction in school was Italian, so Italian is your best language

You therefore think in Italian, but can think in English and Arabic if you want to. Right?
