Sometimes I wonder if native English speakers appreciate how much more comfortable the internet is for them than for the rest of the world
Like, you can go on tumblr and simply read stuff in your mother tongue? Amazing. Go on youtube and you donโt have to replay some sentences ten times to try to understand what theyโre saying? Incredible. Look for practically anything on google and know that there will be a fuckton of results that you can read without having to spend half the time looking up words in a dictionary? Fascinating. Make a post or send an ask without panicking that youโll make a silly mistake or that they wonโt understand what you meant? Unbelievable.
lol this is still the most relatable gif ever:
*Italian
I quote this GIF in half of my conversations. (Also not only smart but fun. Iโm fucking funny in italian.)
I relate to this hard. In my native language itโs so much easier to express myself which, in turn, results in me sounding a lot more eloquent and (emotionally) intelligent. I constantly feel frustrated by my failure to truly convey my thoughts and ideas in English.
๐๐ I feel like I donโt know more than 17 words in english most of the time. 17 words that I put randomly together and hope for the best without really knowing what Iโm doing.
the fact that every single anxiously non-native speaker in this post usedย completely flawlessย English just breaks my heart
THIS!!
I have so much respect for people who learn English as another language?!? English is fucking hard and itโs so amazing that people try to learn it. A lot of people apologise to me for their written English but it is perfect!!
KEEP GOING BABIES. I AM PROUD OF YOUโก.
