it's tough for you guys to understand each other and all of a sudden you realize you're speaking in broken english too like somehow your autistic brain thought it'll be easier for them to understand you? i work with a lot of japanese people and i have to stop myself from talking like them all the time, every day. they think I'm making fun of them. i'm just trying to be helpful. "how many at table?" "six at table. you make five fried rice. little girl want white rice" and they frown at me. i'm just trying to help.

also when people use a cool word a lot i end up saying it too, like my buddy calls everything "tremendous" like "man did you see that movie? it was tremendous!" or "this ravioli, tremendous!" and when i'm talking to him i call stuff tremendous too, but only to him, i never say tremendous to anyone else. but if i'm with him, and we're talking about tv shows or types of pizza, i'll go "that new episode/sicilian vodka slice was tremendous" and wonder why i said tremendous instead of good or great or cool.

An indian coworker once said to me "when we are talking about satan". It took me ages to figure out that he meant 'speak of the devil', and now I try to say 'when we are talking about satan' at every possible opportunity.

It takes more effort to translate the idiom than to just parrot it verbatim.

The same coworker titled his vacation photos on facebook "I am a sensual adventurer. Please join me on my journey." So it's possible that rather than being bad at english he's actually really good at it.

yeah I do it. I always try to pick words I've heard them say because I know they know them. Like my friend says he stands up in the morning, so I ask him what time does he need to stand up, because I know that makes sense to him also when I use german I use the german word for to stand, which probably is stupid.
