Language mistakes that reveal how someone's native language works are really cute but it's even cuter when it's a mistake that's mirrored in both languages tbh

#i grew up hearing spanish speakers say 'people is' instead of 'people are' and #i was absolutely delighted to discover that english speakers will say 'la gente son' in spanish instead of 'la gente es'#because people is plural in english #it hadnt occured to me before that english speakers would make that mistake but it makes so much sense??#btw not making fun of people that make this mistake i think its fascinating how our native languages shine thru when speaking another one #lnl #languages
