Oof

That professor expained idioms, jokes and just plain logic of the language to me

That's the best thing you can do to a learner

I get idioms mixed up all the time

rather embarrassing at times

one time I said "stand tall on your own 2 shoulders"

Once you get a grasp of slang, innuendos, jokes and idioms, you are on a pretty good language level

or something like that

You can actually think in it at that stage

lol, contortionist idiom

Yeah I have a fantastic grasp of english but I just get my words fucked up and mix words

I do it im my mother tongue too

And sometimes a word from one language cockblocks another

English is my only language and i fuck it up a lot

I didn't learn my "native" tongue to any proficiency before I was shipped off to AU

Just brains being what it is - imperfect

where is everyone from?

I'm from Wales

gayland

even worse

I can't imagine how you could not be proficient in your native tongue
Not trying to be an ass, just have no such experience and it just sounds so alien to me

I had a friend who was shit at all 4 of her languages though

well I was barely school age when I moved to an english speaking country and never had the need to learn any other language

She spoke Lithuanian, Russian, Romanian and German, but none of those well in spoken form and even worse when it came to writing

It could be she had some undiagnosed learning condition though

oof

poor gal

She got just fine through life though

Married a rich turk with lithuanian roots eventually

gold nigger

ahh yes

Turks

Her poor langauge skills didn't impede her life much

she musta been p hot

tbh

the men of kebabs

Also nope

compared to lithuanians that is

Bland average look

But that turk was buttugly

So that's that
