Only Native English Speaker... Do you speak an other language? (44)
Used to speak Danish as I was an exchange student to Odense. Speak Spanish, Italian, some small amount of Portuguese and understand Romanian because two of my grandparents were Romanian.

I'm not a native English spealer but this is a very interesting poll and therefore I comment. I live in a small European country and the entire idea that a person speaks only his or her native language(s) feels awkward. Many Americans only speak English and in some larger European countries people only speak their native language. Naturally the situation varies by country but this entire idea of speaking only one language feels alien to me.

In response to: what is mean Native English speakers?
In English it means Native American English speakers. In Canada I believe (maybe not) Native Americans are called First People (or something I'm sure I'll be corrected

The original natives of Ontario were/are Indians. They are called the First Nations. Different tribes such as Algonquin, Cree, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Huron, Ojibwe, Ottawa, Neutral, Petun, Wenro and Munsee Delaware. That is just Ontario. Many languages. The word Native is associated with the First Nations.
But for the "white" person our first language is English. In Quebec our neighbouring province, first language is French. Confusing yes. Therefore my personal first language (and only) is English (not Canadian but English).

First Nation, that was the word I was looking for thank you. Here in California they call themselves Indians but off the rez people call them Native Americans. Though the languages are mostly dead here short of a few elderly and some tiny movements to keep them alive which are not too successful. And you do speak Can-ej-an and you know it.

Almost all non-Western people's name for themselves is "The People" in all languages. Not uncommon. (Yeah, I was an Anthropology undergrad, with grad degrees in Applied Ling )
