i love the strange reality of being a human person with a human brain. one time someone said something to me in a foreign language (japanese, which i do not speak) and i automatically responded in a different foreign language (spanish, which i do not speak well) and then we both said "what?" in english, an experience made more surreal by the fact that everyone around us was speaking loudly in canadian french (as this occurred in Quebec)
brain: ah yes a Foreign Language! i have One of Those!

#ME#tbh a big reason why I forgot most of my spanish is because way back when I studied Japanese#(for 7 years)#the first year I kept defaulting to spanish when responding to my teacher#so yeah#I get that :'D#linguistics#my brain also tries to autofill words#so if I'm saying something in Japanese and I dont remember a word#I substitute a spanish word#which. really helps no one. pfttt#spanish#japanese#language
