  • Native Language: US English

Other spoken languages: German, more or less fluently

Home country: USA

Parents' home country?: um... USA. Mom is half German, half Lithuanian, Dad's a mutt.

Looking at this, I realize how sad it is that I hate stereotypical Americans and often complain about American-ness.

NinjaRobot

Native Language: English
Other spoken languages: Bad German, due to German relatives and learning it in high school.
Home country: Australia
Country of residence: Australia, I've lived in the same house my whole life.
Parents' home country: Both are Aussies, but my dad's parents moved here from Germany, and he and his brother spoke German around the house, but stopped speaking it due to being teased or thinking it was lame or something, so he doesn't remember it anymore. Which is really sad, because I would have loved to grow up being bilingual! D:
