deshretandkemet: In honor of “Speak Your Native Language Day”  Here is a version of my Kemetic Round Table post in my “native language” or at least as close as I can get to writing it down.  All languages seem foreign to me and I’ve had to learn them slowly and painstakingly.  This is closer to capturing a bit if how I think and another way I can communicate. The same post in words is Here I think that it is an issue how much “How well you speak in words” gets tied into assumptions about person hood, thought, and intelligence.  This can be an issue for anyone who isn’t used to communicating in English, whether because they grew up with a different language or for disability/difference reasons.
