#me: how did susato ryuu and kazuma all individually learn english and how does this affect their sense of self

[royaltrios]

i think kazuma had early exposure to english from genshin and therefore hes always had the language faculty for it. ryuu only began to learn it in uni (maybe like late secondary school even) but hes more inclined towards the humanities and generally takes to it quickly. his classmates are jealous of how much of a knack hes got for it. but ryuu still doesnt think hes all that great because he compares himself to kazuma who like, doesnt need to think as much to speak it. kazuma will help him study for speaking exams by talking to him only in english for the week beforehand. he thinks the way ryuus accent comes out moreso when hes nervous is charming so he will intentionally say embarrassing things to him in english. kazuma tested out of the first few levels of english to catch up to ryuu and take a couple classes with him. together they are the bane of the english department
