5. Not that I'm an expert or anything like that, but the 'Russian propaganda' I've seen is mostly nonsense, they didn't

construct their sentences or English phrases correctly, and it stands out like a sore thumb. All of us have seen this. Kind of a red light to us when we see such, that the speaker's original language is obviously not English.

For those of us who have had not native English speakers in their relationships or grew up w/ such people, you know what I mean.

I was always, in my first long-term relationship, correcting their English or re-interpreting it as they got things messed up. I give them immense credit, in that, first of all, speaking another language besides one's natural language is an awesome accomplishment.

And then to slip back into their native language(s) just as easy was so natural for them. I guess that is what you can get in some families, which is what my first long-term relationship person was like, when grandparents on one side spoke a couple of languages, and then grandparents on the other side spoke different languages, and then their own parents spoke different languages. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. They could speak six different languages, German, Italian, French, Spanish, English, and Portuguese!!

And you know what is the amazing thing is? That lots of people can do this. After all, look at Europe. It's the size of the USA roughly, and crammed w/ different languages, etc. A lot of us don't really realize this, being that we're so used to one language, one Country.
