Your turn 1 - The languages you speak
People who live in the UK speak many languages. In the city of Manchester, for example, 129 languages are spoken (with 37 languages spoken in a single school!)
Which languages do you speak? Which languages do you speak at home and at work? Which language do you watch TV or films in? Which language do you dream in?

Hello everyone!
I'm learning English and German. German was my second language while I was studying at the university in Russia (I live here). I like British English. It sounds very well. I come to Finland every month or two and here I communicate with Finns as much as I can. Of course, at home I speak Russian.
I would like to improve my skills of English language. Every letter, even if it is short, gives me an opportunity to use my skills on practice.
I like this site. There are many different options which can be useful for learners.

Hi, I'm from Bosnia and I, as well as all others people in my country, speak Bosnian, or as it is formally called Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian. In our country we study English at schools and, sometimes I speak in English with my sister. There are some people who do not originate from Bosnia and they speak Albanian, Chinese, Arabian...But, in our language 10% of all words are maybe English, or are a bit transformed to be easier for us but origin form English. English is very popular, and is needed for bussines and work so older people that were studyin, for example Russian, are almost compulsioned to learn English at courses or private schools. So, anyway exepr our native language, we mostly speak English and maybe German or Russian that are/were thaught at schools :)
Greetings from Bosnia ! :)
-I speak Spanish and I´m currently learning English and Portuguese.
-I speak at home and at work Spanish, sometimes I speak English with my workmates.
-I watch tv in Spanish (my language), I don´t like movies without its original language I mean dubbed films or series.
-I want to learn English to study in the future in a language speaking country and part of the requirements is get a good score in the IELTS test, so I´m working hard to improve my skills.

Hi,
I live in UK about three years now. I can speak Bangla, English, Hindi & urdu. I always speak English with my friends, techers, cousin, & with my brother, sister most off the time I speak English. Only I speak Bangla with my mum & dad because they don't speak English. I watch English TV program bt sometimes I watch Hindi/bangla with my family. I wish i can speak much better English in the future.
