lolz yeah ... I spoke the dialect first ... then I had to learn Tagalog to be able to attend class coz that's the official language of the Philippines [i was born there and lived there for 12 years ]

while attending class in the Philippines I learned English ... then I moved here in the USA and perfected my English ... then I took Spanish classes in my Freshman and Sophomore years, I had a Spanish-speaking friend who helped me practice and perfect my Spanish, so I was virtually ahead of my class ... so I quit Spanish ... I am going Junior now

I self-taught myself German when I was introduced to Rammstein about 2 years ago ... so I was really learning 2 languages ... I'm not really fluent at German yet ... but since Spanish and German are similar in grammatical structure ... its really not hard to learn German for me ... I am not really fluent at German since I have no one to talk to who speaks German and I really need to expand my German vocabulary
