    Me too, but I’m bad at English, which is why I’m so anxious to post.

    I learned English by watching American cartoons and playing video games when I was little. I remember searching for video game guides on the internet, but I couldn’t find them in my language, so naturally, I started using English more and more, but I will never reach the fluency of a USian. Funny, that’s how I found Reddit, and luckily radicalized, lurking on Lemmygrad and Hexbear.

      I think your English is perfectly fine, and if you feel uncomfortable with it you can always post in your native language I’m sure no one would have a problem with it. Also I like your Fluttershy profile picture.

      Maybe not the total fluency, but based on this and your other comments, you seem basically there. Post more! Even if you fuck up everyone here understands (and frankly I don’t even know a second language, I’m a dumb USian lmao)

      I think your English is well enough. Any typos I see here just get filtered through my brain anyway, and most people wouldn’t notice. I see people here are kind when they unsure if the wrong word is used. I think this should be the least of your worries.
