I'm from Finland, but I had most of my education from ages 4 to 15 in English so I've been speaking it quite fluently for most of my life. Lots of reading and surfing on the internet has helped a lot too, of course.

Weirdly enough, I don't know what my proper first language was. I was born in Nepal to parents who probably spoke mostly Nepali (and my first words were in Nepali), but then English and sign language came to the forefront when I was a toddler living in the US.
English is probably the language I speak best of the three I feel comfortable in. I have terrible, terrible Spanish as well, but not enough to have anything resembling a conversation.

Bengali is my first language. (Spoken in the state of West Bengal, India)
English is my second language, but I kind of adopted it into my first language

Yes.
Although it must be said that, this far up north, it's pretty much English in name only.

Yes
I am very impressed with the cultural diversity displayed so far in the results. Great to see such great books bringing people from all over together

I must say, I like your northern english, for some reason I find it to be easier on my ears than the southern... stuff. Unless someone talks the hardcore unintelligible version, like Cougar.
Also, no. English is my somethingst language, third or fourth, but I use three languages (german, russian and english) roughly to the same amount but for different tasks, so I've kind of stopped counting, especially since the other two (ukrainian and french) are atrophying due to disuse.

Technically, English is my third language (after Ukrainian and Russian). But I've lived in English-speaking environment for th past 16 years, so I'm basically as fluen in it as I am in my mother tongues-to the point where I can think in all 3. (still went with a "no answer, though)
I've also got some okayish, "intermediate" lvl French, which I'm slowly losing again due to lack of practice, and a workin understanding of Polish (due to many of my friends speaking it).
When I was in Spain I also tried to make my French sound "Spanish-accented", throwing in a smattering of phrases I picked up from books and from fundraising in Latin American neighbourhoods. I was surprisingly comprehensible to the locals, who spoke no English.
