#multilingual struggles

I could just switch through several languages in one sentence and they would understand me😭 and now I have to stay within only one language even if the word from another would fit better. Also since I also think in multiple languages sometimes a word only comes to me in one in that moment and I cant remember what its called in the language I am speaking right now.

If you are learning foreign languages, dont be afraid to 'mess up'!

In German for example a BIG issue foreigners face are the three grammatical genders (the articles related to each noun and how those articles and nouns are changed depending on the casus). In Russian for example we also have 3 grammatical genders but they are easy to see and differenciate when you look at the ending of a word (with very few exceptions to this rule). German doesnt do that, our grammatical genders are basically 'random' there arent actual rules to distinguish which noun has what gender, you just need to memorize them for each word.

And you know what? Dont care about it that much. Especially in the beginning - you can improve later. A German speaker will understand you even if you put the wrong gender on a noun. We fuck it up ourselves regularly ... and sometimes even argue about what noun has what gender (Nutella 👀 like... nobody can agree on whats the right gender for that)
