Magdalla, although I often write about on this forum about languages related to colors, I also have often thought of them as differing personalities as well. I know exactly what you mean. :-)

By the way, I've noticed that many native speakers of English on these forums write clumsy English, full of spelling mistakes and not very logical. Why is it so? Is it not a language forum?


You mean on HTLAL?

Do you really have this impression? I never spotted masses of spelling mistakes here, can't even imagine, when I saw the last one. And logic, I can't support this either, but I'm not reading every discussion here, I must add. Maybe you can give examples.

I would say these are exceptions. Maybe you should visit some other English forums. If you call that here clumsy I hope you still can find words for something like u for you, em for them, and other things. I always was the opinion of people here are having an eye on what they are writing. So I really was just wondering.

I enjoy speaking German more than English or Welsh. English is my undisputed native language, whereas I grew up with Welsh until certain events made me stop speaking it for a couple of years, and because of that, it has fallen behind my English.

When I speak English, I am nervous, almost whoever I'm speaking to, whether it's my family or someone I have to deal with in some formal situation or other. When it's really bad, you can see me shaking and you can tell by my facial expressions that I am just generally not comfortable with the present situation at all. Conversations on the phone scare the life out of me - I will delay sorting out problems with bills or other really important things for as long as possible because speaking on the phone makes me that nervous. When I speak German, though, none of these nerves seem to be there, or if they are, they disappear pretty quickly. Obviously my English is quite a bit better than my German, but German is the language in which my confidence most shines through.
