honestly I’m always kinda suspicious of the english language because AMERICANS get it wrong like not knowing the difference between “then” and “than” I CAN’T EVEN TRUST THE NATIVE SPEAKERS

YES omg when i see native speakers getting stuff wrong it feels so weird like “what the hell this is your native language and i’m the foreigner I should be the one making mistakes here”

but then again, people learning portuguese must feel the same?? perhaps even worse since us brazilians looove twisting the grammar and structure until it becomes something that really only makes sense to native brazilian speakers. also i don’t think there’s as many resources available to people who want to learn portuguese compared to english (which is THE IMPERIALIST LANGUAGE all around the world so it makes sense that there’s more about it on the internet)

man i used to have such a hard time with prepositions. im working on the script for my future webcomic and bRUH I know the struggle

like, i believe my english IS pretty good?? above average at least. but prepositions are awful i end up mixing things up without realizing

at least i’m learning stuff w/ how much i’m looking up the same thing over and over again?? i’ve memorized a lot of stuff after i started writing seriously in english last year
