According to Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language), "natural language"
could include, for example, bee dances.  "...a language that is
spoken, written, or signed by animals for general-purpose
communication..."  And, it might also exclude constructed languages
like Esperanto and Klingon.  How about:

02. What language do you prefer to use when communicating with people?

In case there are, for example, any Klingons, sentient machines, etc.,
in the audience, the sentence does not assume the answerer is human...
 :-)  It's a tricky question to write.

I'm a total newbie here, by the way.

01. USA
02. Probably best I stick to English, but I'm willing to negotiate.
06. Not sure yet.
09. Last month.  I think.
