RE: What I'd Give My English Skills For - LOH Contest #241

English to Ebira when she's on the phone with her sisters, when she's pretending I'm not listening
That's a huge talent, you know. I do that often...
If I were you, I would trade something else for fluent Ebira because English is a universal language and you need to master it at some point...
I can imagine your struggle and not knowing the language, and what social barriers you face often. I used to face the same problem when I was in Ukraine because I didn't know the language, and everything was different. I think slowly you should start learning Ebira...I wish you all the best...

You're absolutely right: English is a valuable, global tool, and I’m grateful to be fluent in it. But I think that’s exactly why the gap hits harder. It’s not like I want to trade away English entirely, but being able to live fully in both worlds without feeling like I’m borrowing someone else’s tongue to speak my own truths.
Thanks for the encouragement. 💛
