    This is a neat idea until you’re in a situation where you remember 38 different words for a thing, just not the one in the language you need

      I only speak one language fluently and one language extremely poorly.

      The number of times I’ve been able to come up with the word I want in my second language and completely blanked on it in my native language baffles my mind.

        This is why I learned the shit out of English: If I forget a word, there’s like 6 more words that are close enough to the one I forgot.
