I agree, Dutch sounds really horrible like a mouse trying to speak guttural variation of German. Such as words ending in Eeeek, Hoooek, Geeeeek, Hoeuk, dikstra, Waaaak, Sla~gk! Haareen Really horrible. Hoeekanestawhoakkks eerafeek wefksdajsd

English is alright.. nothing special, boring microsoft office of languages. English is still one of the Lingua Franca, so it's useful for business purposes only, not for deep connections.

Forget about those American Rats. Let them live in their filth. You can't change them.

I love Brazilian Portuguese too and believe that it's one of the sweetest, most melodious and most delightful languages in the world. Definitely in my top five and up there with my beloved Spanish.

I can answer your question since I've often spent months at a time speaking nothing but Spanish. You don't forget your native language. You might suffer some degree of language attrition through years of disuse. Pronunciation declines, grammar becomes a little bit more stilted, you forget the odd word here and there, etc. But you never forget your native language completely no matter how much you speak a foreign language in adulthood.

If you undergo full immersion in your target language, you begin to think in the foreign language most of the time. In fact, it's best to force oneself to think in the languages that we're learning. But even if you think in Spanish or Portuguese all the time you still don't forget English. For some reason the native language acquired in early childhood seems to become immune to heavy attrition after a certain point.

It's an evil empire. I'll never let that country or the people in it destroy my spirit.

I no longer identify as an American or with American culture. Mentally I have moved on. Here in Peru one can become a legal citizen of Peru in a few years. But I probably would not want to live here.

Is there a word where one voluntarily gives up their own culture and adopts a new one? I don't think there is a word to describe this in the English language.

I read one comment a video: "It's great to have that shithole in the rearview of your living memories. And the more you move on, it will only exist as a bad dream."

One thing about living outside of America is you think better. More clearly. More optimistic. Your mind is at peace with a much lower stress level. In America, it's a continual dread every day.

Another thing is that you have more confidence outside of America, because America always makes you think that you're not good enough and the constant comparison with others.

Most people don't live their life, they're only existing.

There's a saying, "you never know you didn't have any money until you start making money".

You never know you didn't have freedom until you started having freedom.

America is only free if you're wealthy.
