I was just reading this conversation because I find this topic interesting, thinking about my own experiences as a native german speaker who speaks (or rather reads and writes and thinks, I'm kind of ashamed of my pronunciation) english very fluently and how I sometimes forget the german words for something but know the english ones, and how I sometimes think in a mix of german and english, and then I realized that this conversation took place when I was just 13 and I had only just started getting better in english beyond what was expected of me in class by spending all my free time on the internet at that point lol
this feels kind of weird, a bit like finding a time capsule.
