I speak with a guy in Russia and a guy in Siberia most days.
Russian chat is via Google Translate app, but when Vladimir writes up reports on his builds in English a rusted sill plate becomes a broken threshold.
Conversely, Stanislav in Siberia is 100% fluent in English, grammatically he outdoes 80% of English speakers straight from his knowledge of English, no translator here, and I speak English with him on WhatsApp. My Russian is super limited.
Sometimes I am sorry for the loss of impact in translation.
With English as my second language, even explained, the impact of stuff is often lost.
Thankfully we still can chat.
