Broken language, a turn off?

[Magesthicc]

Hi.
My first language it's not English and sometimes I find myself with lack of confidence to speak freely or flirty with people because I dont speak/write fluently English.

I need to think twice what I want to write or say and I was wandering if that kind of limitation is a turn off for some of you.

Have a great end of the weekend.

Not for me, since English is not my first language (technically). If someone is friendly, but respectful, I give them a chance. In fact some of the most vile comments I've received on Lit have been from native English speakers. Charm and regard for someone's feelings are not a product of, or automatically associated with a specific background.​

 

[Magesthicc]

I understand that point.
For me, write is incredibly more helpful to chat and have a " fluid " conversation. Sometimes I crossed paths with people who didn't have the patience to listen and I felt kind of bad after.
Thank you for answering Z!

Those people were not worth your time or energy. I know that doesn't make their impatience or ignorance easier to deal with, but I believe they weren't meant to do anything but help point you in the direction of the people who would want to get to know you, M.​

I "liked" this comment upon reading only the first sentence, and I agree with the rest of Z's post.

@Magesthicc
Your effort to communicate in English says more about you than fluency.
The more you use it, the more confident you'll become.
This is lit, it should be a drama-free, fun site to be on.
I hope you enjoy your time here.

Yes, was a doubt that I had about other users here, if that happened to someone or if that was a reason for someone to reject the opportunity to know other people.

No, it is not.

Hey, I think communication is about more than just the language and over the time it always gets better. As many here pointed out, I also think that it says more about those who fixate on how pitch perfect your English is, than what it says about you.
If the Swedes had colonised India, I would be sitting here spitting Swedish instead of English Ignore those wankers!

Never had a girl slip into her native tongue mid-stroke?

Don't deny yourself the pleasure. It's life-changing.

Lucky me, here in Lit I still can improve not only my way of speak but surely can add a lot more terms.

In every day situations is were usually i was founding more obstacles. The lady at the store or the clerk of the office.

You could see the light slipping from their eyes when I "stutter " some word

Yes, it happens in a different way here. I live in Finland, but can’t speak Finnish. If I make a mistake, which I do, a lot, they may look at me, but then quickly switch to English.
I think you made an effort and that’s all that matters. I am proud I tried!

Personally, I enjoy hearing the "mistakes" people make when English is not their first language. I find it endearing and lets me look at how language is assembled. I know I wouldn't do nearly as well, and to me, it makes their speech unique and interesting. They are braver than I would be. I love it.
