My nationality is not limited to a specific place, though I do consider myself being a part of a specific nation.
As a kid I traveled relatively much, and since my parents are foreigners here in the country we live in now, I speak my parents mother tongue.
I speak the language of the country I am living in now, in addition to English which was taught in school at a younger age and which my parents enforced upon me when I was child. I mustnt forget about the spanish either which was mandatory in high school.
Basically I just wanted to sum up a couple of problems I have struggled a lot with for quite some time. Because I speak one language at home with my parents, one language in college in addition to Spanish which is taught there and English generally online and everywhere else where it is redundant.
Each time I switch from one language to another, it`s like I have to reboot, and that can take time, like a slow booting of a 1980s PC. If I was to spend an entire day speaking only one language, my choice of words become much more fluent and profound, but this constant switching back and forth is bad for my social skills, writing skills, talking skills.
Anybody else that has the same problem. I talked with my brother about this who has the same problem as me, though he has french instead of spanish and this really frustrates both of us.

Do drugs, believe in people, and make them smile!
