Sometimes I genuinely forget that I'm bilingual and that I can speak another language natively and I think about like French or something where you have to keep track of the gender of the nouns and I go "oh, wow, imagine" and then LOL I realise I can do that in Cypriot Greek.

I guess this might be a case of classic immigrant things.
But it's a bit disturbing either way. Thanks brain.2 replies 0 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -

I also get a bit upset that people tell me "Spanish sounds so cool but Cypriot Greek, that's ugly-sounding"...

Annoying thing for me is when I go back to Greece people tell me I have a weird accent and ask me where I’m from
It’s a side effect from speaking English too much for 9 yrs apparently.3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

Oh, wow, really!? That hasn't happened to me yet. As a child certain people were weird about my dad (British) and insisted I was a Charlie (British-born Cypriot) even tho I was born in Cyprus. My dad's been in Cyprus for 35 years now... He still says το πόρτα & απόευμα (wout γ).

Oh, I do sometimes say πάνιο and παλλούνι for bath and balloon. That's... Ehem... Very immigrant.

Just thinking about that and I'm laughing to myself.
