I never even heard of the Cornish language until now. Good luck with your struggle and hopefully you can learn Russian as well.

It's no wonder. The cornish language is a dead language nowadays. BUT it's being tried to reanimate. I hope it'll be done.

P.S. Hi ! My native is Russian. Studying English and Español in Linguistic State Moscow University.

Dutch

English (Though I grew up listening to Russian and Czech. Mostly Czech. And also some Irish Gaelic, but very sparingly, and usually in Irish songs or religious hymns. So, I know how to say things like Praise the Lord and Hail Mary or my love, my dear, my soul, I love you! hahahaha.)

My ex-husband (my daughters father) was Moroccan. He knew 3 languages from birth. Moroccan dilect (which is a mixture or Arabic, Spanish, and French I guess) was the language if the people. However there are Berber natives of Morocco who speak their own Berber dialect. (I guess they are a tribe.) The diplomatic language of Morocco is French. Every child grows up learning Moroccan and French. The religion of Morocco is Islam, so the children also grow up learning proper Arabic, in order to read the Qu'ran. So technically I think they have 3 languages (maybe even 4 for some people, like the Berber people). If they learn them simultaneously from birth then they are native. At least Arabic would also be their native language (with Moroccan and Berber), because they are Arabs as well as Moroccans and Berbers. Right?

Russian

Sounds Russian)

Russian

American English and Spanish

Native: American English (with an Appalachian dialect)

Although in all seriousness, similar to Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire...

"I speak Latin to God, Russian to my woman, English to Men, and German to my dog."

English, and I hate it because it's a terrible language!

Don't hate it, but you are doing the right thing to learn a second language.
I moved from the UK to Sweden and I never thought I'd miss English but I really do. English simply has more words and more ways of saying a particular thing. A friend of mine speaks poor English and it is amazing how cut off he is from the "big world". There is just so much information and so many opportunities that are only available if you speak English. Being bilingual should be a goal for everyone, including English speakers.
