    Born in Taunton (UK), raised in Taunton, Doncaster, Norwich, High Wycombe, Taif (Saudi Arabia), Bath and finally Abu Dhabi (UAE) while going to boarding school in Cardiff. Lived in St Albans while at uni, and have also lived in London. Currently in Dubai (UAE) - been here over 18 years, by far the longest I've ever lived in one place!

    Much to my shame, I only speak English (unless you count the little I can remember of my school French, German and, er, Latin!).

    I'm from northern Michigan. If you look at it, Michigan looks a lot like a mitten. I live near the tip of the middle finger. :laugh:
    English is my only language.

    Hi neighbor! I'm living just below the pinky in Grand Rapids, MI (if you are looking at your palm)! Was born in Detroit and raised in GR. Speak English (with the Michigan accent), some New Jersey (accent and their own special words, Mom was born & raised there), sarcasam (also learned from Mom) and that particular language that all mothers speak.

    I was born in Alaska on Kodiak Island. At 15 months old I moved with my family to Massachusetts. Then at 5 years of age we moved to Minnesota and that's where I have stayed.

    Born and raised in Germany. Still living here.
    Native language: German.

    I learned English at school and practiced it in... MMORPGs. I have been GM of my game on a US server.
    At school I also learned French, Italian and Latin. But I don't remember much of those languages.

    This still cracks me up! When I first moved here, everyone would raise their hand and point to various parts of it to show a town. I was like, "what the heck are you doing!" :huh: :laugh:
