  How many languages can you speak perfectly?

  My english is self taught so il take it as a compliment that you regard me as a native speaker.

  Maybe learn to be less entitled and happy that the majority of the internet is a language you understand.

    A lot of native English speaking people don’t seem to understand that the grand majority of the world doesn’t have English as a native language, and while it is a known phenomenon, it’s still quite sad when a perfectly well formulated and understood message is replied with “learn basic grammar”

    Wonder how they fare in any large town or tourist destination where the grand majority are foreigners that speak with accents and broken grammar 🤔

      Or just going around the US with different accents and language patterns.

      “Wooter” for water, “warsh” for wash, hell, let’s take a trip to Appalachia, that would probably send em in a tizzy!

    Goddamn, your English is fantastic, I wouldn’t have a clue it was a second language, let alone self-taught!

    I know plenty of native speakers who are far worse (just hang out here for a while).
