White working class British boys are the worst performing kids in Britain and some of the worst performing kids in Europe academically. They can’t speak English properly, never mind speak other languages.
These foreign lads nearly always speak English better than many British people can.
A Polish guy once said to me that he kind of had to learn English again when he moved here because the English he was taught wasn’t really spoken here, and he had to learn a dumbed down version of it with words that were very simple and often incorrect from what he’d been taught and what he spoke in Polish. There’s a lot less dumbing down and a lot less slang in other languages n’all (‘n’all’ haha) and many other European languages articulate properly with proper grammar as the norm.
You won’t catch a foreign footballer saying ‘we done well, we was good today’. But that’s the norm for a lot of English people even though it’s not right.
