No... Here I type English and in real life I talk Croatian. :p |
you know, I'm astonished that people can master English so easily when many of us who speak english struggle with other languages. I sometimes forget that many people speak english as a second or third language :) |

| No, my posts are usually much more refined than my speech. This isn't to say that I speak terribly, because I don't. I just communicate more concisely in writing. |

Pretty much.
I talk less IRL than online though. And slightly more polite.
Unless I'm drunk. Then all bets are off. |

Who knows...
But basically, people whose native language is English don't really have a need for second or third language. Other people, on the other hand, do. Maybe it's because we're "forced" to learn it. The fact is, without English you're nobody outside of your own country. Many jobs expect knowledge of at least 2 foreign languages, preferably English and German. I have yet to learn German, but I probably will one day. Right now I know the basics. :)
(Btw, I'm far away from mastering English. :p But I'm very good at it, best in my class too.) |
