We have a pretty diverse guild so far, so lets talk languages ^^

I speak English at home for the msot part, but some of my family in central America does not speak English, so i use Spanish with them, and Spanish with my sister a lot ^^

My lover is from England, so i use English with him as well :]

* Discuss: What language(s) do you use with your family?

* Your friends? Your significant other?

I use English with my family and friends for the most part, except I mix my speech with Spanish if I'm talking to my little brother or with a friend, both of whom were learning it too. I've been teaching my little brother a phrase or two of Hebrew. So he knows what to say when I randomly ask, "Ma nashma?"
With my significant other I use English mixed with a couple Arabic words.

I speak Portuguese with my family. Lately I've been including some English words that just come naturally in the middle of phrases though. xP
With my significant other I also speak Portuguese. He's learning English now, but I prefer speaking to people in the language they feel the most confortable speaking in.

I speak Korean at home.
I speak Japanese and English with my friends, obviously depending on which the friend knows.
I will be speaking Korean at work soon, and learning (Mandarin) Chinese for when I go to ShanghaiChina.

I dunno about that. He's so weird. He's seriously a genius with far too much time on his hands.

I use Polish from birth, but we also sometimes mix in some Italian, English or German phrases. Just for diversity and fun of it.
