To: a fool in paradise

My cousin has lived in Sweden for the past 25 years. She has never lost her English, but she does speak it with a Swedish accent now.

To: Huntress

English is my third language, and has been my primary language for the last 50 years, but I can still understand and speak Portuguese and Ukrainian.

When I am speaking those other two languages, I compose my thoughts in English.

It is just a convenient excuse.
