I'm guessing that you never learned to speak Dutch then? Nah, you likely weren't in Indonesia in prior to 1949.
He probably wasn't even born before 1949! 😉

You said she "has forgotten all her English". But now you're saying she can speak English but she is "not comfortable" doing so? So your anecdote is changing?
If you're not comfortable then you can't.

I wouldn't send you into battle with a rifle you might know some bits about.

You either know or you will die.

Very true sir 😁

Being "not comfortable" speaking doesn't make someone "forget all [their] English", not after four decades or more. It's just a silly idea. Are you sure you were a "language specialist"?

And what does this have to do with the singer from ABBA?

Were you ever "sent into a battle with a rifle"?

Why don't you look it up and you will see that she is not comfortable speaking English anymore.

It's that simple and stop being a troll asking stupid questions.

Why have you changed your anecdote?

You claimed she had "forgotten all her English".

You could have put a link up where she said it! 😉

Just a thought!

What you are doing now to me is exactly what robbie carrobie was doing to you.

Harassment and goading.
You complain about what he did to you yet you think it's okay for you to do it to everyone else.

Why are you in Indonesia anyway? Are you on the run?

I'm sure he is capable of looking it up himself.

You know what they say, use it or lose it.
And these "they" people you refer to here, were they "language specialists" too?
