Moldavian is not the same as Romanian, at least that's what I was told (by some Moldavian girl).

I have heard: Moldavian and Rumanian are exactly the same but Moldavian is spelled with Cyrillic letters. It is a mix of Romance and Slavic. It's definitely not a language I am familiar with.

Judge for yourselves: Gromozeka posted a very cute video of a Romanian kid a while back which I happened to bookmark... EDIT: Apparently the kid is actually Moldavian but lives in Romania.

I don't understand anything apart from recognising a few words from Russian + it seems to use "La" as definite article like Italian.

Russian +1 =)

This two languages are very similar. I understand a Polish, Belarussian, Moldavian, cause this languages are real similar. But not a lot of russians can understanding Ukrainian. More interesting to me, how the Swiss understand the three languages at once as native: Italian, Germany and Franch. One year ago I met Swiss who speak this three languages as native, and English in addition. That was umbelievable.

Not all Swiss people speak all three languages, my Swiss housemate only speaks French fluently (and English semi-fluently), she knows about as much German as I do (pre-intermediate level) and no Italian.

Russian is my native language and i'm proud it. Now i wish that English became my next language

Привет, my native language is Lithuanian.

Russian and Ukrainian. If you need help with these languages - wellcome

My native languages is Russian)) p.s. I want to learn English....

Norwegian, but it feels as if my native tongue is English.

Spanish, though at home I speak in Russian, at work in English and with my friends a language spoken in northern Spain similar to Portuguese.

I speak English.

I'm from the south east of England, and have a 'Kentish' accent, which would be considered flat-unaccented English here, with tiny hint of Londonness here and there. Mainly in the occasional dropping of 'g's and 't's from words.

It's not posh, it's just... plain! Pretty standard really. I have a bit of a knack for accents, so I can imitate pretty much anything - especially Americans (most regions). I played American Football here in the UK league, and I used to spend my time annoying our Michigan born-and-bred quarterback by talking to him in his own accent when he couldn't copy mine. I don't know why, but I haven't met a single American who can keep up a flawless English accent - they all seem to resort to some posh royal family type accent that no-one under the age of 70 uses. Good times.

If there are any Americans around here who can do a normal (or regional) English accent, please let me know!!

Like most British natives, my knowledge of foreign languages is crap. I can speak conversational German (learnt at school) and I'm learning Russian myself, as I like it as a language, but I have no 'second language' so to speak.

My native language is Russian. I try to study (learn) English

English English!

British English. But I know several other languages. I make sure I get to learn the language of the place I visit. I know russian too
