Stop it with the tongue twisting and let's get down to real business. |

I'll be impressed to know Lira's answer to this question. :p |
I'd most likely spend hours talking about what the definition of fluency is, how it works in real life, and what I consider fluency to be along with how different the mindset is in different languages :p
Then, instead of picking 5 languages, I'd pick 5 features of the languages I speak (even if my fluency on them might be disputed) - e.g. tones in Japanese, the "bad/bed" distinction in English (I often say "bed" for both) and that damn "bI" in Russian :( |

Just keep repeating " I'm bad in bed I'm bad in bed I'm bad in bed I'm bad in bed I'm bad in bed I'm bad in bed I'm bad in bed" and you'll eventually get the pronounciation right :stongue: |

ACTUALLY, I'd call it Australian. It's the same approach I take when trying to explain my first language; It's American, not English. You speak English in England. Australians have taken the base English language and altered it to their own liking hence the "unofficial" language title. |
If we're gonna go into details, then there are official english, american english, australian english and so on...
Just like in Croatia there are official croatian and three dialects: štokavski, kajkavski and čakavski. :) |

But who has all that time to tell others that they speak "American English" or "Australian English"? :p The conversation would have ended halfway through the phrase. |
