HEY

Thanks for opening up this discussion.

So I am filling out an application and its asking me for my First Language. I was an ESL studying in Kindergarten, then I became a regular student halfway through Kindergarten. However, I’m more proficient in English even though I speak my other language with my family and anyone who can understand. I can read, for the most part, but have never been taught how to write. It can be seen, however, how weak I am in English with the B+ in Freshman English (everyone gets an A) and my terrible CR score on the PSATs.

What do I put as my first language, Arabic or English?
