@tanjaostman I get what you're saying...which is the point
When I was younger my French accent was apparently like a native, and those I spoke to always knew what I was saying when in France on school trips
But my technical ability was truly awful...I failed my alevel and almost failed my GCSE french
This frustrated my peers and teachers no end, with their far more correct french, when I was understood and they were not
Nothing like that to knock down pride a bit
I just enjoyed it even though I wasn't technically proficient at all
