The Folks I love listening to, are lovely, native, African Ladies, and native Indians (from India), speaking "English" to absolute perfection!

Paul... ...!

It's an article that works with "one", its not quite a flavor word (like "like" in English) but it doesn't add any additional meaning. These vary quite a bit, based on the noun that is used.

...and yup, fluent in American and Mandarin, and can hold my own with German (although I'm frequently ridiculed for butchering it). And when I'm drunk, I can do Aussie, Scottish, and Spanglish.

I speak fluent American English. Sadly, most people around me do not speak fluently. I often find myself having to re-phrase my sentences to eliminate the words that people in this town don't understand. Basically I don't speak redneck.

I took Spanish class in high school, but I don't remember learning any useful phrases. If I'm ever in Mexico I can request a broom so that I can clean, but that's about it.

"I am a native American" would better be said "I am a native-born American" because of the definitive term Native American, which is also part of my ancestry... although I know but a little of the affiliated languages aside from meanings of some tribal or local place names -- and I have a copy of an Abenaki (= Dawn People or People of the East) version of The Lord's Prayer on my home computer.
As long as I have the means for procurement, I can also ask for certain food items in French, Spanish or German without having to point at said items.

I too, am a native born American and part native American. My great, great grandfather was a Cherokee Chief, so I have been told. Alas, I have never had the funds to research properly.

One white horse?::)

I thought that at first too...but after using a couple different translators I came up with white as [ch30333] and pronounced PIE instead of PEE like the mystery character :-/

English, and a few "choice" words in many other tounges. (Naughty words in Polish, Russian, Arabic, French and German.)

Holding my tounge!
