Why do I have to reach like a C1 in English just to get a job, while native speakers don’t even have to try learning another language? 😭It’s so unfair that I’m basically expected to be fluent in someone else’s language just to be “competitive,” while they can just… exist. And like… even if they do have to study another language, they’re never really pushed to be as perfect as we are?? we’re out here needing C1 like it’s nothing, but for them it’s just “basic communication” and done… it’s always a completely different standard and it’s so exhausting😭💔
Tips to Rock Your Language!
Language troubles
So, my first language is Dutch but everyone around me is kinda annoyed with my bad grammar, don’t get me wrong I can talk it just fine, but writing and under pressure I make lots of mistakes. (Not like it is a difficult language, only the second hardest in the world 😒) Doesn’t really help that I’m a teacher who is supposed to know the language very well. My English on the other hand is way better then my Dutch, because of that I sometimes make Dutch sentences with a lot of English words in them, or with English grammar rules instead of the Dutch grammar rules. Makes my life not any easier. People ask my why I do this and my best explanation is: “because I think in English and the language is way easier then Dutch.” I get a lot of strange looks from people when I say this, I’m supposed to be Dutch. How I hate the language... it’s way to difficult with a lot of none-explanatory grammar rules. Maybe I should read more books in Dutch then in English, but I can find way more books in the English language then I can in the Dutch language, besides I think Dutch writers aren’t really that good. The struggles.
The moment you read something in your target language and your like "Yup, I understand what this is saying" and then someone will ask you to explain it and your just like "I have no idea how to explain this"

There's a knock at the door. I open it and it's the shower repairman, he steps back, puts his feet together and bows to me. Actually bows. As I stand open-mouthed and slightly confused he comes in, takes off his boots and bustles past me towards the bathroom, tugging at his forelock with his head bobbing. In the bathroom he's already got his tools out, 'It's err, the, oh, sorry, I don't speak Finnish,' I say. He bobs his head. 'You know the problem?' 'Yes, yes,' he says, 'new unit.' and points behind me. I turn and there's a twelve-year-old boy there holding a a box. I almost shout 'shit!' I'm so surprised - I hadn't seen him at the door. I leave them to it. I'm just looking up how to say 'Would you like a cup of tea?' in Finnish when they come bustling past again, making a sharp exit. In a linguistic panic I shout, 'Ole hyvä!' which means, 'You're welcome!'
This column made me smile this morning. It reminded me when I followed these Dutch courses because I started my first year in uni. I went to international school, English becomes my first language from that on. One dutch lady reminded me that I live in Holland and I gotta speak the language! I agreed with her big time. I am also grateful for it. After 30 some years, more & more English is used in our daily life ! It is pretty strange for me and we gotta get used to more English in the Dutch society! #dutchlanguage #English #languageproblems #worldchanges #NRC
Lingua Problems
1.) People Coming Up To You and introducing themselves as, " Hey, I heard you were the hooman bean who can speak more than one English, OMG so mucho impressed."
2.) When introducing you to people, your acquaintances will say, "Oh and she can speak like 1200 languages. You speak Chinese right? Oh and Russian? Mhmnn, like so talente- no? Oh.."
Can you think of any other numbers?
