These things are very possible here. As someone who has been a core part of this place for a while now and enjoying each moment in my own way, I thought of asking about what I realize is more like me to start off doing. Who wants to give it a go?

What is your native language? I see in another answer it’s not English.

I don't express it well when I say it like that, but it's more akin to a pidgin, which is comprised of a considerable amount of English but doesn't do the language justice. Pidgins are common in syncretic households and so I had to learn "actual" English later on.

Pidgin with what other language (like English + ?) Pidgin is a mixed bag of 2 or more languages, no?

Like what was your first language?

It was English + Tahitian.
