Indeed! Must have had a mini stroke or something when I wrote that. I did score 25/25 on a grammar/language test which only 4% of Americans get full scores on, according to the test.
The odd thing is that I don’t have any formal understanding of grammatical rules, I only know it by instinct. The majority of my adult life I have spent outside of Sweden, mostly been communicating in English, learning by error I guess.
My Turkish understanding is rudimentary. I get by in a professional setting with some translation help from my assistant (primarily when giving a report of findings to a new patient, who doesn’t speak good English), can have simple conversations, direct a taxi, order food at a restaurant, etc... But I can’t have any deeper conversations in Turkish yet. However it really isn’t much of a necessity to have deeper conversations with Turks that doesn’t understand English generally.
