Straight up facts right there
I’ll never forget when I worked in fast food and my coworker from Guatemala asked me, “Can you settle a bet between Jorge and I? You speak English like a second language, what’s your first language?”
English is my first language.
Jorge won that bet.

It’s okay buddy, you’ll get over that lisp!
I’m a swede with fully swedish parents, and I have always lived here, but I’ve always sucked at Swedish, both spelling and vocabulary.
But I’m way better at English, I often use English words because I can’t remember or simply don’t know the Swedish equivalent, and sometimes I just give up and fully use English for whatever I’m trying to explain. I wouldn’t say I’m great at grammar overall, but I’m above average based on how bad most people are.
Old Swedish people must be terrified by you!
Speaking was one of my weakest skills, so I started streaming. I speak way smoother now.

This even happens to me in my native language
It’s refreshing to know that I’m not alone. My English skills suck ass. I blame it on not having enough chances to actually speak it in public.
As a French,
That’s it, that’s my answer.
I usually try to misinterpret my sentences as hard as possible before posting.
It also works for program comments, I don’t know how the fuck some text can seem to be almost perfect one moment and be totally useless garbage next time I find it.
Swap that out for Spanish, and that’s me.
4 years of it in high school, and the best I can manage is sounding like a drunk 5 year old that curses with what I’m told is a Mexico City accent because the girl I dated from Mexico City taught me the fun words.
Like, I would have to have a dictionary in front of me to apologize for my bad spanish and be clearly understood. That’s how bad my Spanish is. But in my head? I’m all suave and shit. And in my dreams, I’m bloody fluent. Awake? Not even close
People need to watch more english things in english. Synchronisation is bad.
I watch English movies with English subtitles, my grammar is non-existent, but at least I can try to convey meaning of a sentence to someone.
