English, especially the American variation
Hungarian

I only saw one other person mention Hungarian ...I guess we're rare

I grew up speaking almost only Hungarian at home; my parents are Hungarian, I was born in Austria but we came to the US when I was almost 4yo ...yikes, over 50yrs ago!; whenever I have to speak to a "real" Hungarian, I'm concerned that my lack of knowledge of common colloquial speech and words will make me sound foreign to them, but they usually say my speech is pretty good. I can stumble thru reading it too, but since I never did much of that, reading is tougher; writing it is really challenging for me.
