Question by cfa_pilot: What is Alexei Romanov’s first language?
What was the first language Alexei Romanov learned, and what language did he speak most commonly? What was he 100% fluent in?
I have read he was in Russian, English, and French class when we was 12 and 13. If Russian was his first language, then were his Russian classes like those of English classes in American schools? Just expanding the knowledge even though you’re already fluent.

According to the memoirs of various people who knew him, the Tsarevich was fluent (of course) in Russian, and also spoke English and French. Unlike his sisters, he supposedly didn’t speak any German at all. It’s also been said in these same memoirs that the Tsar spoke Russian to his children, and the Tsaritsa English and French to them. Hope that helps!

Which Alexei Romanov are you talking about? The tsarevich?
As most members of imperial family, he had private teachers when younger and later would have attend prestigious military school with other aristocrat family boys. A part from been fluent in Russian, French and English., he was probably also very fluent in German. German was often spoken in Nicolas II court.

Of course it was Russian and like everybody else he had
mother tongue classes.
All people all over the world have mother tongue classes,
along with foreign languages tuition and he was no exception.
There's more to mother tongue classes than "expanding the
knowledge even though you're already fluent."
Like learning about your national myths, poetry and literature in general.
