Many of the people I do have online conversations with speak English as their first language. I kinda get by but you native speakers really underestimate how hard it is to express oneself in a foreign language. Concepts work differently, metaphors don't really translate, references you have used for decades don't make sense.

Like in German I am actually somewhat eloquent and texts I write don't look like a person with a head injury wrote them.

@tante Reminds me of "Do you even know how smart I am in Spanish?"

@dirkhaun @tante I was looking for this! It’s so heartbreaking! (Also I thought @tante was a native speaker so you had me fooled! :) )
