What is your mother tongue?

[sunny]

Yes, Andreana, Dari is related to Farsi and it is spoken in Afghanistan.
My mother comes from Afghanistan, my father comes from Greece and we live in Germany

Sascha Hello! Your guess was almost correct. My mother tongue has the same roots like French. A lot of our vocabulary is French based and we use some French words (often without knowing it of course). I'm sure you speak this language too .

Hello Sascha, how many people speak German in Italy? It's think it's a very small number. There might be more people in Switzerland speaking Italian that German speakers in Italy.

Arabic belongs to the Semitic and is the national language of about 250 million inhabitants of North Africa and the Arabian countries. Outside these areas, it is spoken by Arabs living in west and in some parts of North and South America, and Russia Central Asia. Since it is the language of the QURAN some limited knowledge of it exists throughout the Muslim world.

I can’t ask you to guess my mother tongue as I have written my place of living in my profile. It was really stupid of me .

Anyway, I think Darav is Turkish. I wanted say that she was Polish because there are 50mln people all around the world speaking my mother tongue.
For those who think English is difficult, I highly recommend to look at the Web site below and try to learn some Polish expressions .

If Polish wasn’t my mother tongue, I would be the last person to learn it! But I know lots of people who managed.
As a Polish native speaker I want to say I like my language and I think it comparable in some way with English. English has a wide vocabulary range (all those idioms and phrasal verbs!), and Polish has a comparable number of grammar rules and ... exceptions from them).
So if you start with Polish, and you don’t come from Slavonic countries, forget about grammar and learn structures.

Besides, we often use ‘OK’ and other English expressions every day (usually bad words). But seriously saying quite a big number of Polish people speak English well, young people in particular.

To finish the story: that was a funny thing for me to learn that we use a word ‘fart’ in a complete different meaning than the English. If you say in Polish 'mam farta' or ‘ co za fart’ (= I have a fart/ What a fart!) it means that you are lucky:).

Special greetings for Polish speakers on this forum .

Darav, let me know if I guessed

Hi !

Do you speak Vietnamese? It's my mother tongue.

About 30 million people speak my native language. Most of them live in northern Iran. We are lucky because our native language is very close to Turkish. We are able to speak with Turks without any problem. I like this language because it is very good for poetry and like English, it is rich with idioms.

Hello Ahmadov, are you from Azerbaijan?
