Russian
As raised in U.S. but born in Russia, I still speak my native language the perfect way. Living here it worth noting, for the past couple years the population of russian / ukrainian speakers, both as workers or guests, has increased several times. I'm always glad to help if my language knowledge comes in handy in various situations.
