Learned English and Italian at the same time, but hardly used Italian at all unless I was at family reunions on that side of the family.
ETA: And translated for my Scottish great-grandma's neighbors, she was supposedly speaking English but not many people could figure that out. |

My father was stationed in France and the landlord took a shine to me and took me everywhere. My mother said I could speak French before I could speak English.

Canadian French was my first language. I remember in junior high taking a French class, thinking it would be an easy "A".
Schoolroom French was quite different, and the class was a bitch

Yes, though my god parents only spoke German in the house (and to me) - then we moved to Mexico when I was 8 - so I think in Deutcha'spanglish.

No, English wasn't my first language. But it is my primary language.
In other words, I am only fluent in English. I am more fluent than most native speakers and when I'm drunk I have a southern accent. This always confuses government workers who can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that first language and primary language are not necessarily the same. |

As G. Gordon Liddy once said " You are worth as many languages as you speak." Of course, this was a commercial, but I don't think it far off the mark.
I have never found it inconvenient being able to speak foreign languages. YMMV, |

No sooner had I really learned to speak English(around three years old) but I had to learn French, as we moved to southern France fr a few years. I apparently picked it right up and was able to switch back and forth easily, something my little brother had trouble with. He had a noticeable French accent for a few years after we moved back to Tennessee.

English first and primary, learned studied German for three years in high school. I don't remember much of it. Learned Spanish (sort of, Ud. form, legal Spanish) in the BP academy. I can't carry on a conversation, but I can interrogate and deport someone in Spanish. "Yo, Juan Fulano de Tal, tengo claro conocimiento que el official ante nombrado se me ha identificado a mi como official del servicio de inmigracion y naturalizacion de los Estados Unidos y el / ella esta autorizado(a) por la ley para administrar juramentos y tomar testimonio con relacion a la ejecucion de las leyes de inmigracion y naturalizacion de los Estados Unidos." We used to have to memorize that, and much more. Nuggets now learn "scenario-based" Spanish and can't habla to save their (or their partner's) ass. |

We moved to a small northern Germany village when I was 4. My dad was working at the Unterwasserwaffenschule (Under Sea Warfare School) in Kiel. We had almost no contact with English speakers and spoke German at home. I spoke the regional Plattdeutsch which my parents didn't understand so I would translate it to High German for them. By the time we returned to the states I could barely speak a word of English. It made grade school very difficult. Many decades later, I can barley speak any German but it comes back to me fast when I am around it or reading it.
