first, second and third foreign language (subjects)

[mela33]

hi all,

Is it correct to say "first foreign language, second foreign language, third foreign language".

They all refer to subjects.

In Spanish, it is "primera lengua estrangera, segunda lengua estrangera y tercera lengua estrangera".

Thanks a million!

It's OK to say Spanish is my first/second/third foreign language. Most people whose native language is English say Spanish is my second/third/fourth language. In other words, they count English as their first language and omit foreign.

Yes, it is correct in English, but it is extranjera in Spanish.
