Nah the craziest thing for me about being a habitual language learner. Is in my native tongue, I don't utilize Point of View or Tenses correctly.
I'll say things in past tense when I mean present and present when I mean past.
Also pronouns? Forget it. I'll say our mother even if the person I'm speaking to does not have the same mother and the sibling I'm referring to (with our) is not present in space nor in conversation.
I speak broken ass English half the time it's no wonder I don't get time/tenses in other languages confused. I don't even understand it in English I just make shit up.
#the amount of people ive confused with my weird ass phrasing will never be zero unfortunately#language#language learning#languages#throw in the fact im literally a fucking writer making my poor language skills even worse#like im sorry i never internalized any grammar lesson in english classes#and whenever i got points off on essays it would always be because of grammar everything else was great#to be fair its worse when im talking aloud#on paper im pretty good ish. like its perfectly readable you can find my ao3 and know this to be true#but i still dont grasp the mechanics fully. i just apply it based on vibes mostly
