| Re: language It is your second language if you are living in a country in which it is spoken: many hispanics in the US speak English as a second language. It is a foreign language if it is not spoken as an official or preponderant language in your country of residenceL: many Japanese speak English as a foreign language. . |

| Re: language Just to make sure that I have understood. For a person from India, Philipines or South Africa, English is a second language, and for a person from Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, English is a foreign language. Am I right? |
