yuuzora @yuuzora Hn. I'm ESL so things can get me lost really easily. Especially those slangs, certain nuances, and plural/singular things. One really learns new things everyday. It's a little overwhelming at times.

Mr.Grinch @joemama711 I didnt know what ESL meant till I had to google it, you're right its a nonstop journey to learn things if you want though, ignorance is always bliss but learning can be fun. Whats your first language?

yuuzora @yuuzora Ires Gaelige is my first language. I've been learning English since I was about 9. But I was a stubborn little shit, so it took me longer than my other siblings. And yeah, ESL English as Second Language. Japanese as a third. What about you? Are you a monolinguist?

Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Ires Gaelige looks confusing to me honestly but yeah I only know English, never really had a interest in learning other languages along with a lot of other things i never really cared for haha. Do you enjoy learning new languages and new culture as a hobby?

yuuzora @yuuzora I don't really know. I just learn them because I grew up with a mixed cultural background. I was born in Ardaigh, but moved to America, making learning English a requirement then my nan was born in Miyazu in the western coast of Japan, so she taught me Japanese. I haven't really tried learning other language other than Cantonese and Vietnamese, since most of my friends are from those places. Do you know what dialect/accent of English you have?

Mr.Grinch @joemama711 That sounds rather complicated at least having to move place to place hope your family is doing better now. Ehhh its weird im from Florida, my moms german and not sure about my dad I dont have a accent unless I jokingly try so I couldnt tell you really.

yuuzora @yuuzora Technically everyone has an accent. Florida sounds quite different to Maine and California. Do you say soda, pop, or cola? Do you say 'gator rather than alligator? While I'm not highly into linguistics, guessing where people are from based on what they speak is very fun. It's actually a bit strange to hear about Germans settling into Florida, so I think your family story would be fascinating.

Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Fair some are just stronger then others, I say soda, aligator didnt really grow up with the country twang accent lol. Maybe my mom was tired of the cold qnd wanted to go somewhere warm and picked Florida? Im not really sure i didnt checj out the family history. I just know my mom wanted to get away from my grandpa

yuuzora @yuuzora Escaping the cold is a lot of the reason many people migrate. Even in this area the winters are bitter cold like my home country. Most people closer to the east coast of Florida have an 'even' accent that doesn't have the 'drawl' of those on the border to Georgia. At least from what I've noticed.

Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Makes sense I dont think I could ever get used to it, hell even it barely being windy and cold here is a bit much though the summers are just awful too. Hey maybe if we voice call sometime you can tell

yuuzora @yuuzora My accent is really heavy, most people can barely understand me or think I'm a child. But if you want to add me on Discord.

Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Hey its your only voice :P can always try and learn with speaking lessons. Sure im on Discors too
