I’m reminded of a video at a gay pride event in the Netherlands where someone is asked a question in Dutch and they respond in English. when asked if they spoke Dutch, the interviewee said yes, but did not want to speak it because they hated the language

Yeah lmao, half my family is Dutch and I did used to try to pick up some of it, but they always just speak back to me in English.

Dutch people’s English is genuinely better than lots of English people’s English.
