Is it your native language?
Vietnamese!

How many languages can you speak? (or read/understand).
I speak English fluently. My native language is Vietnamese and I can read, understand, write most things, and maybe speak at a conversational level. I am learning Spanish, Dutch, and French on Duolingo. I studied French for four years in an academic setting so I'm okay at it but definitely not fluent.

Is there a language you are DYING to learn?
Ooh! Other than getting a lot better at French and Spanish [and Dutch], I'd love to learn Russian.

Are your parents/relatives from a non-English speaking country?
Yes. They're from Vietnam.

Do you speak one language at home, and another outside of home?
Nah. I mostly speak English all the time unless I need to explain something that is easier said in Vietnamese.

Are you currently learning a language? - Why? (fun, work, New Years Resolution?)
^^^ French, Spanish, and Dutch because I want to visit France, I want to easily communicate with the Spanish speakers that are common in my area, and just because lol

Have you previously known a language, but forgotten over time?
Not completely, although most of the French I learned in school (such as grammar and verb tenses) is a bit lost. I retained mostly vocabulary words.

What languages could you greet someone in, but not necessarily understand the language?
Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, German.
