:-/.....Damn it! I fell to one of the worst of my social fears: misplacing gender. usually this happens when I compliment a couple on their new born baby but when it comes to animals, sentient or otherwise, I am at a loss. I am sorry for that.
Don't worry, anyone can make a mistake. Me too can yourself mistake because from my english... Bheh... I don't live in UK, USA and Australia... And my language is little bad. So, again don't worry
It is completely fine. English is a difficult language. From what I have learned from my English classes it is a combo of two dialects at once. so it is very challenging at times.
If you want, that is difficult in today's globalized world, but most people in their native countries never forget their native language and I actually like learning about other cultures, their languages are one of the main characteristics that fascinate me.
No way forget your mother tongue which is since our birth. In us the think that our country is really bad and bla bla bla... And cultures better yourself learn about other country
