Come on people!
Iz there anyone else out there who speaks another language?

Foreign is a matter of perspective.

From my perspective if you were in London, my home, you would most probably be considered foreign as you are not native to the location, so yes there are people on here who are foreign, but only if you visit them otherwise they are just from another place.

Not sure what you mean by "(from America)", you need to elaborate on this somewhat. Should the "foreign" people you want to converse with come from America?

However I will give you what you have told of yourself.

London born and bred, 42 years of age with a temperate climate.

I'm from America, but I'm a foreigner anywhere else.

42 years of age, Oakland California, and I speak predominantly English, but also some Gibberish.

I've traveled to Europe, SE Asia and Australia as well as Canada and Mexico.

sorry I can't be of more help.

UHHHMMM...sorry i meant as in you are not native to america. My mistake

sorry I can't be of more help.

Don't worry i posted this out of curiosity

I was born on planet Earth, and so far, I've just stayed here.

But really, I live in Canada, and have most of my life.
I did get to live in the US for a few years and the experience made me appreciate Canada so much more.

I come from British and Danish roots, but that's 3 generations ago.

Im from america, but one one of my friends i know is from costa rica.. her mom can only speak spanish so when she talks to her mom its in spanish. But shes not on the ats.

Um... I was born in Philly, PA, then I moved to Austin, TX and now I live in Houston, TX.

My parents were immigrants (refugees) from Vietnam during the Vietnam War. They were actually from opposite sides of the war and met, married and had me in the US.

I'm currently 14 years old.

I'm 100% Vietnamese. Actually ... I'm 1/32nd Chinese, but I don't like to tell people that.

Codename: Russian soldier
Current location: Hayward, California, United States
Upcoming location: Back to Russia
Born in:Moscow, Russia
Age:18
Current status: Applying as Security gaurd, soon to become a Russian soldier
Temperature: Hotter then Russia!!!!
Other notes: I will probably come around US once in a while, and other parts of the world

peace

noite boa, Falken, I am from America (Southern California) and I am older than you are The weather here is usually sunny and since I live only a few miles from the ocean the temperatures are cool to moderately warm. I speak English as well as some spanish and portugese but not so much that I can carry on an extended conversation. I've never been to Brazil, although I have always wanted to see Rio and Sao Paulo.

I have traveled to Mexico, China, Japan, The Philippines, South East Asia( Viet Nam, Thailand, etc) and Australia and a few other places as well.

I am a 27 yr old Australian born and bred gal of the Lebanese and Syrian persuasion, married to an African American man and we currently live in Japan Detailed ain't we ? lol

I have travelled the Middle East, USA, NZ and some of Asia. I speak Arabic and English fluently, only a little Japanese but I am working on learning more.
I plan to learn Italian and Spanish in the near future also

First learned spanish in grade school, high school & college, then later from friends who also speak the language. I actually am pretty close to fluent in spanish.

My half-brother's father is portugese and I am also a big fan of Sergio Mendez
& Antonio Carlos Jobim So, my language skills in that language are not great, although I think it is one of the most beautiful on the planet, next to Italian.

Im Australian, 41, originally from the bush but living in the city now, i speak english (sorta) and a little bit of German, i can swear in about 4 other languages, result of living in a multicultural society. I'd love to visit sth america one day.
Ive been to Fiji, Thailand, Canada, Japan and Hawaii.
