native language?
English

How many languages can you speak? (or read/understand).
Ive been self teaching Dutch for about two years, with help from some friends along the way, though id say my Dutch reading skills are far superior to my speaking, I would still say its a very basic understanding

Is there a language you are DYING to learn?
Languages fascinate me and I would love to be multi linguistic but I find for someone who is English and has lived here all of their lives learning languages is so tricky, all of the media here is English, English people and by extension I suppose Brits can afford to be lazy as English is a language spoken everywhere

Are your parents/relatives from a non-English speaking country?
English all over

Are you currently learning a language?
As previously mentioned I am doing my best to self teach Dutch, have visited the country numerous times and love it there, I have a handful of Dutch friends and it was just something I really wanted to do. Unfortunately there are no professionally taught Dutch classes anywhere near me.

Have you previously known a language, but forgotten over time?
I was taught German in school but I find languages are very poorly taught in English schools, public ones at least

What languages could you greet someone in, but not necessarily understand the language?
Dutch and I could probably greet people in German
