    I don't believe my mother has ever called her tongue English, lol. Yes English is my primary language. I feel the need to learn other languages though, to facilitate communications with persons that I meet daily and also on the internet. Recently I went to a conference with over 100 persons and of the group only about 5 of us spoke only one language. There were persons there that spoke up 5 languages.
