i'm learning russian and french at the same time and I swear to god if I accidentally find a random cyrillic letter in the middle of a word writen in latin alphabet one more time or accidentally mix languages mid sentence, I will yell

or sometimes I find that when I'm writing a translation of a word in russian that sounds similar in polish I just write the russian word again but in latin alphabet for some reason

or I can somehow remember all of my miniscule spanish when I'm trying to learn french even though I literally don't remember a word in spanish otherwise

my language module is broken at this point, if you ever find my notes and there is something like boнjour, just ignore it, I literally don't pick up on it when I'm making and rereading my notes

#seriously though whenever i see other bilinguals online talking about like #writing bilingual characters and stuff #there is always something like #“oh people don't just swich languages mid-sentence”#and yeah it's mostly true especially without noticing it #but like sometimes I have this moment of like #i'm speaking polish and then I almost randomly swich to english for some reason but stop myself after one syllable #like “bardzo lubię chleb because-”#it's so weird #also while we are talking about my languages experience I realized recently that i sometimes don't realize i'm reading a word wrong #like for over half a year I was convinced that the genshin enemy Jadeplume TERRORshroom was called Jadeplume TERRAshroom #and I apparently do that with other words as well lmao #like I didn't realize New Zealand was spelled with an a I thought it was New Zeland without the a since like forever #and also sometimes I think in both english and polish at the same time #like i have one train of thought in polish and another completely unrelated one in english #nico speaks #< new tag because I once again got bored of the old one and it made me not want to shitpost and I want to shitpost more #oh also I forgor that I also sometimes just stop writing my answer mid-sentence on my school tests and then don't notice it while rechecking
