English and Russian, although my Russian is much poorer than the Russian of other first-generation Americans, because both my mother and grandmother are fluent in English (they were trained to be translators, or more commonly, ESL teachers), and my father studied pretty hard at English before immigrating so he'd have a shot at working here. My folks speak Russian to each other and I kind of understand it and recently have been trying to polish it up a little.

It doesn't help that I'm the second child in the family -- by the time I started to talk my older sister was already bringing home English from school. To this day (we're 27 and 23) she understand 95% of Russian as compared to my 80%. But that's pretty common with first generation kids born in the US, the older ones speak the native language better than the younger in most cases.

Sorta the same, but completely different. My father is a Russian jew, so he spoke Russian as his first language. He speaks english well now (Can't write it very well at all, though) My mother is american, so I never learned it growing up. His family does, though, and it's very awkward to have to point out I can't speak it. When my late grandfather started to go, he only spoke Russian-and would try to hold conversations with me in it. Forgetting the only language I know how to speak was English. :p

A bit amusing, but when my father was in school, they told him he couldn't learn english because 'he didn't have the tongue for it' and they had him learn german instead. He doesn't remember anything in german, and mostly speaks english now (Unless he's speaking with his family) LOL.
