Hi all,
As the title suggests: my GF is from Turkey, where most don't speak English at all. I'm not from an Anglophone country but have always been nearly fluent in the language. She also speaks English very well - language has never been a barrier in our relationship - but my English has always been better, vocabulary and grammar-wise.
Lately we've been living together, and I notice my English is actually getting a bit worse because of her. Not her fault obviously - I just notice that I am subconsciously mimicking some things she usually says wrong, or copying certain speech patterns.
My question is: has anyone else here experienced something like this? What is, in your opinion, the best way to prevent this from further happening?
Thanks in advance! Enjoy your weeks all.
