I volunteer at a language cafe to help people with dutch conversation, while I’m learning french and living in France. I have so many embarrasing moments where I forget the dutch word for something. Even though I still speak dutch daily with my boyfriend/family.
“You see, I’m a bilingual. I’m a bilingual illiterate. I can’t read in two languages.”
I study bronze age languages for fun. Its not that hard, I just read a lot. However I feel insanely silly when I remember a word from a dead language before I remember the word in english, or any of the modern languages im studying. My spanish speaking coworkers I practice with think its hilarious.
That’s what hands are for 🤌
Time to lean heavily on “I forget the word for it in this language…”
Smart less ending anyone?
That’s me! Between ADHD and bipolar and aging, I’m definitely losing vocabulary. I can now be an idiot in two languages!
Ok, this one really made me lol. Well done
