Mother tongue or tongue language?
Hello, everybody. I need your help. One of my colleagues said to one of the students:
English isn`t your tongue language so you should practise it every day. I was puzzled by that phrase "tongue language".
I`ve heard such phrases like "mother toingue", "native languuage" but not "tongue language". Can we say so?

I have never heard "tongue language", at least not to mean "native language". And I don't recommend that you use it for that meaning.
