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 grew up mostly in Canada hearing German at home but speaking English everywhere else, so while my accent is ok, my articles are complete trash. Getting the gender right (let alone conjugating) is a crapshoot

Ha! Cypriot Greek is so weird in a sense because there's a million of us in Cyprus and a million ex-pats who speak it their "complete trash" way you describe. So it's a fun balanced exercise watching them mock us and us mock them.

Danish has genders in all its dialects, except out on the west coast. I figure if I can never get the hang of it, I'll just go live out there.

Oh, can't you just talk like you're from there without moving and hope they understand where you are?
