Russian is my native language

I also speak German (way better than Russian tbh), English and a bit French.

How can you speak German better than your own native language?

I was 6 when I moved to germany and almost never had to speak russian. Well, I went to school in germany and had of course german speaking friends etc. I guess I just never bothered making my russian any better cuz I don't really need it. I have no problems understanding it though. My mom talks to me in russian from time to time.

Geezus, are you taking a degree in anything related to language studies or is it just part of your hobbies to learn that many?

I've been told by my dad's side of the family that I use to speak Cambodian somewhat fluently when I was young, but now it's just the good ole' english. I do want to learn the Cambodian language so I can have good conversations with my other family.

Thanks to a good memory, I can learn languages quite easily.

Although I fear my memory will have a challenge with remembering and reproducing Arabic script. (I intend to learn it sometime in the future)

English is my second language. My Native language is Urdu, however I cannot write nor read Urdu. I can speak English in British and American accent better than I can speak urdu.
