It’s always satisfying when I come across a Russian post and I’m able to piece together, if not the whole thing, at least a part of it. Today I recognized «в метро» which means “in the subway” :)

Living in Brazil has its challenges

I apparently told the in-laws: I ate pussy. It got worse, when I said: I eat lesbians

I only knew I’d said something wrong because my wife’s face was beetroot red.

This can be so very true. I took French in early 1980s as total immersion. We spoke French only, all day, and at night, I would call my wife at home and could not speak English suddenly, many words were not there. My mind had moved to thinking in French.

Not to brag but I got lucky at the McDonald's once...

I was able to get my while order in without repeating myself.

I can be so awkward on the phone trying to explain what I’m phoning for. Well, you’re a removal company so I guess I’m moving? Yup. Can you move me, please? 🤣
No problems expressing my thoughts when I’m furious though, and my English gets so much better as well!

Neuroscience:

How our brains cope with speaking more than one language.

Speaking a second or even a third language can bring obvious advantages, but occasionally the words, grammar and even accents can get mixed up. This can reveal surprising things about how our brains work.

words were used less by bilinguals that read and wrote about whether to sacrifice someone to save lives (on footbridge ) in their ().

Using their 2nd also led to more decisions and arguments—an effect mediated by using (fewer) high-arousal words.

Support for claims that can promote thinking?
