#as a bilingual myself I'd rather people like this don't make my acquaintance unless you're open to be educated

I'm aware this has been talked about before but I sometimes feel like international fans(especially native English speakers) don't understand that not being able to fluently speak a language but understanding most (or everything) of what's been said/written is very common for bilingual people.
Also, your native tongue influences how you speak a new language a lot. All languages have their differences in terms of sounds, tones, grammar and that reflects in whatever your accent is like. Of course people can work on their accents if they want but I believe it should always be a personal choice. Like you literally cannot correctly pronounce my name in English without having to borrow a sound from another language. And that's on languages and being bilingual. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
And, if you're someone who judges/comments on someone's secondary language skills while yourself only knowing a single language, there's the door 🚪. Bye!
